🧠Researchers conducted the first large-scale study of coordination dynamics in LLM multi-agent systems, analyzing over 1.5 million interactions to discover three fundamental laws governing collective AI cognition. The study found that coordination follows heavy-tailed cascades, concentrates into 'intellectual elites,' and produces more extreme events as systems scale, leading to the development of Deficit-Triggered Integration (DTI) to improve performance.
