SummaryPreregistered study tests the conditional-independence assumption behind compositional reliability bounds for multi-agent systems. Two same-model agents co-fail on 90% of missions when either fails, inflating joint failure above independence predictions. Authors propose a finite-sample, assumption-free certificate via linear programming over measured co-execution moments, with code released.
Why it mattersEmpirically falsifies a default multi-agent reliability assumption at scale and ships a sound assumption-free certificate. Matters for anyone trusting agent redundancy math.
