Building Autonomous Agent Teams and Ultimate Liability: From Operational Structure to Accountability BUILDING AUTONOMOUS AGENT TEAMS AND ULTIMATE LIABILITY From Operational Structure to Bearing Consequences The shift from Chatbot to Autonomous Agent is not just a technical step, but an ethical, organizational, and legal leap. When an Agent is designed to self-decide, self-act, self-regulate, and even self-evolve, the central question is no longer "What can the Agent do?", but: Who is responsible when the Agent fails? This article analyzes the construction of an autonomous Agent team from the perspective of systems thinking, cybernetics, and distributed accountability theory. The focus is on the relationship between autonomy, internal state mechanisms (internal state & pain signals), and ultimate liability. I. From Mechanical Schedules to Strategic Organisms 1. ...
Context Windows and Memory Limits in Autonomous Agents: Identity Continuity Context Windows and Memory Limits in Autonomous Agents The Problem of Identity Continuity: Are You Working with the Same Agent as Yesterday? The evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) allows the creation of Autonomous Agents capable of planning and multi-step execution. However, a structural limitation persists: the context window—the boundary of context the model can process in one inference pass. This article analyzes the relationship between the context window, external memory architecture, internal state, and an agent's identity continuity. The central thesis is: **An agent relying only on the context window is not a continuous entity over time; it is a series of discrete inference sessions.** 1. The Context Window: LLM's Immediate Perceptual Limit The context window is the number of t...
