The Orchestration Layer

The thirteen concierge agents are what the person experiences. Beneath them, thirty-one infrastructure agents and thirty small language models do the actual work. Series 02 is the engineering explanation of how the two connect: how one slow reasoning layer directs many fast execution layers, how context is routed without wasting it, and how a multi-agent system is kept from contradicting itself.

What the System Learns
P-RLHF learns Margaret's preferences separately from Dorothy's and maintains individual models for each. This article describes the learning cycle, the cold start, cross-domain …

When Agents Disagree
When four concierge agents arrive with competing recommendations for the same time slot, the orchestration layer resolves the conflict through a five-tier priority hierarchy and …

The Invisible Orchestra
Margaret asks a question and gets an answer in 333 milliseconds. She does not know that eleven steps ran across five models in two zones. The orchestration layer succeeds when it is invisible — and this synthesis names exactly what makes it heard when it …
