Structural Verdict

How Data Flows Through the System

Tasks flow from CLI or API into agents, which process them through LLM calls, tool executions, and memory operations, with results aggregated through swarm orchestration patterns

1. Task Input — Tasks enter via CLI, API, or programmatic interface
2. Agent Selection — AOP cluster discovers and routes tasks to appropriate agents
3. Agent Processing — Individual agents process tasks through LLM inference and tool calls
4. Swarm Coordination — Multi-agent coordination through HeavySwarm parallel processing or LLMCouncil voting
5. Result Aggregation — Results collected and formatted for output through telemetry and logging systems

System Behavior

How the system actually operates at runtime — where data accumulates, what loops, what waits, and what controls what.

Data Pools

Feedback Loops

• Agent Execution Loop (retry, balancing) — Trigger: max_loops parameter. Action: Agent processes task and checks completion. Exit: Task complete or max loops reached.
• AOP Queue Processing (polling, balancing) — Trigger: Task submission to queue. Action: Workers poll queue for pending tasks. Exit: Queue empty or system shutdown.
• Network Retry Logic (circuit-breaker, balancing) — Trigger: Network failures in AOP communication. Action: Exponential backoff with max retries. Exit: Success or max attempts reached.

Delays & Async Processing

• LLM API Calls (async-processing, ~variable) — Agent waits for model inference completion
• Queue Task Processing (queue-drain, ~configurable) — Tasks wait in queue until worker becomes available
• Network Retry Delay (rate-limit, ~2-3 seconds) — Delayed reconnection attempts during network issues

Control Points

• max_loops (threshold) — Controls: Agent execution iterations. Default: configurable
• queue_enabled (feature-flag) — Controls: Enable/disable queue-based task processing. Default: false
• verbose (runtime-toggle) — Controls: Logging verbosity level. Default: configurable
• dynamic_temperature_enabled (feature-flag) — Controls: Adaptive temperature adjustment during inference. Default: false
