PRIMUS: Identity, Governance, and Verification for Multi-Agent Federations
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.07910v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent federations need governance that answers three questions under adversarial conditions: who participated (identity), did they conform (enforcement), and who decides (authority). A separate question is whether the verification machinery that polices a federation's outputs can also steer a generate-and-test loop toward better answers. Part I. PRIMA introduced prime-power agent identity and a consensus token whose factorization indexes participation, but assumed honest agents. We present PRIMUS, which couples prime-power identity with BLS
