Imagine multiple agents battling it out for control—not just two programs fighting over memory like in Core Wars 2, but dozens orchestrating their way through your computer's filesystem and state. The problem? Current systems aren't built for this scale. We need agent coordination frameworks that are genuinely rock-solid, capable of handling complex pathway orchestration without breaking under load. The evolution from simple dueling programs to sophisticated multi-agent ecosystems requires rethinking how agents interact with mutable state and shared resources. It's not just about winning anymore—it's about stability.
