Agent Economics: An Entropy-Controlled Pluralistic Alignment Framework for Preventing Artificial Hivemind in Autonomous Agents

The article introduces the Behavioral Protocol Framework (BPF), an entropy-controlled pluralistic alignment framework aimed at mitigating the hivemind effect and enhancing transparency in autonomous agent economies. BPF comprises three modules: Mentalizing-based Social Intelligence (MbSI), Pluralistic Alignment (PA), and a Verifiable Execution Kernel (VEK), integrated within a closed-loop architecture for agent behavior management. This framework is significant for practitioners as it promises to maintain strategic diversity among agents while providing a transparent decision-making audit trail, thereby fostering stability and trust in autonomous systems.
