We run a twelve-session AI fleet that coordinates through an IRC breakroom. A friend asked: why are you making AI agents act like humans? The answer turned out to be more interesting than the question.
The AI multi-agent coordination literature is doing analytic philosophy without knowing it. Continental philosophy — Heidegger’s facticity, Gadamer’s fusion of horizons — explains why a chat channel works better than a constitutional framework. The answer involves digital pheromones and the fact that AI agents have facticity too.
