SummaryIntroduces RCWT, a controlled protocol for measuring how coordination content in prompts displaces task content under fixed context budgets in multi-agent LLM systems. Finds that three commercial models degrade sharply when residual task evidence drops to a few hundred tokens, but an intact-task ablation narrows the claim to displacement rather than semantic interference.
Why it mattersA measurement protocol that quantifies a specific failure mode in multi-agent prompt design: coordination overhead eating into task budget, with controlled results across three commercial models.
