Agentic Societies Need a Social Harness
This is the governance layer problem for multi-agent systems. If you're building agent swarms or marketplaces where agents represent different principals, the paper maps concrete failure modes: communication-based attacks, stalling, outcome manipulation. The social harness idea—runtime message validation, post-facto investigation—is framework-level thinking. Read this if you're designing agent orchestration and wondering why naive message-passing breaks.
