SummaryPaper proposes Epistemic State Replication (ESR) for distributed agentic systems, replacing bitwise state replication with belief replication. It formalizes a node state as an immutable evidence log plus an evolving belief lineage, defines Semantic Linearizability and Bounded Eventual Coherence, and reports preliminary simulation results showing reduced cognitive faults.
Why it mattersIntroduces a formal replication model tailored to stochastic, model-driven agents where bitwise agreement breaks down. Useful framing for multi-agent infrastructure design, though only preliminary results are reported.
