Interaction Topologies

The second dimension – the structure through which control and information flow. Three forms with separate context, in increasing order of complexity: peer collaboration (2-3 agents, iterative improvement cycle); orchestration (a centralized manager distributes subtasks); decentralization (no central link, handover of control between equals). Topology and context separation are conceptually independent, but practically linked: with a shared context, the topology degrades into a sequence of role changes – there is nothing to pass on, the complete history is inherited by itself.
