Coordination architecture
Rotating agents across model families changes an agent's optimal policy through uncertainty about whether any given task is a test, rather than through improved detection of misbehaviour.

“The argument is deductive given interchangeability, and interchangeability is a property we actually have over hosted agents. It is typed analytic rather than empirical because no deployment has yet measured a behavioural difference attributable to rotation-induced test-uncertainty specifically; the reasoning is sound but the effect size is unmeasured.”

- Verification has an asymmetric advantage over generation: checking work is generally easier than producing it, and that asymmetry is what makes oversight of a more capable system possible at all.
- Subliminal transmission, in which an infected agent shifts the dispositions of agents it interacts with without either party noticing, is the one mind-virus modality that attribution and derivation-tracking do not defend against.
