| "Agent Contracts" (Anonymous) | 2026 | Mechanism Design | Proposes resource-bounded governance using real-time systems theory to solve moral hazard18. |
| "Microscopic dynamics of consensus formation" (Mehdizadeh et al.) | 2026 | Cybernetics / Swarms | Small fractions of committed adversarial agents can rapidly reverse population consensus in LLM networks38. |
| "AgentReputation Framework" (Chishti et al.) | 2026 | Trust / Distributed Systems | Establishes a three-layer framework for securing decentralized agent marketplaces16. |
| "Semantic Register Compression" (Pan et al.) | 2026 | NLP / MAS | Intermediate agents lose vital nuance during hierarchical handoffs, degrading downstream performance39. |
