Demonstrating Collective Information in Multi-Agent LLMs

·2026.05.19 19:25

Key point

Through information theory, the existence of collective predictive information within multi-agent LLM systems has been numerically demonstrated.

Details

The claim that 'relational information' arising from interactions between agents is not simply the sum of individual members has, until now, remained at the level of qualitative discussion.

Recent information theory research has numerically proven this using Partial Information Decomposition and Time-Delayed Mutual Information tools.

When multi-agent LLM systems perform joint tasks, it was confirmed that predictive information that individual agents cannot provide on their own actually exists at the collective level. This suggests that the space between agents holds its own independent information.
