Fault-Tolerant Budget Conservation in Distributed Multi-Agent Delegation
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.00349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Resource limits are becoming an authorization boundary for AI agents that delegate work across concurrent and failure-prone workers. Parent-child allocation constraints, affine objects, and distributed escrow do not by themselves prevent overspend when replies are lost, effects complete after timeout, messages repeat, branches partition, or DAG joins alias one lineage. We formalize fault-tolerant budget conservation for distributed multi-agent delegation. Budgets are quantized resource vectors represented by exclusive escrow credits that move thr
