Agentic Hives: Equilibrium, Indeterminacy, and Endogenous Cycles in Self-Organizing Multi-Agent Systems
Current multi-agent AI systems operate with a fixed number of agents whose roles are specified at design time. No formal theory governs when agents should be created, destroyed, or re-specialized at runtime-let alone how the population structure responds to changes in resources or objectives. We introduce the Agentic Hive, a framework in which a variable population of autonomous micro-agents-each equipped with a sandboxed execution environment and access to a language model-undergoes demographic dynamics: birth, duplication, specialization, and death. Agent families play the role of production sectors, compute and memory play the role of factors of production, and an orchestrator plays the dual role of Walrasian auctioneer and Global Workspace. Drawing on the multi-sector growth theory developed for dynamic general equilibrium (Benhabib \& Nishimura, 1985; Venditti, 2005; Garnier, Nishimura \& Venditti, 2013), we prove seven analytical results: (i) existence of a Hive Equilibrium via Brouwer's fixed-point theorem; (ii) Pareto optimality of the equilibrium allocation; (iii) multiplicity of equilibria under strategic complementarities between agent families; (iv)-(v) Stolper-Samuelson and Rybczynski analogs that predict how the Hive restructures in response to preference and resource shocks; (vi) Hopf bifurcation generating endogenous demographic cycles; and (vii) a sufficient condition for local asymptotic stability. The resulting regime diagram partitions the parameter space into regions of unique equilibrium, indeterminacy, endogenous cycles, and instability. Together with the comparative-statics matrices, it provides a formal governance toolkit that enables operators to predict and steer the demographic evolution of self-organizing multi-agent systems.

Synchronization of endogenous business cycles
Business cycles tend to comove across countries. However, standard models that attribute comovement to propagation of exogenous shocks struggle to generate a level of comovement that is as high as in the data. In this pa…
AttributeThe relationship between general equilibrium models with infinite-lived agents and overlapping generations models, and some applications
We prove that a two-cycle equilibrium in a general equilibrium model with infinitely-lived agents also constitutes an equilibrium in an overlapping generations (OLG) model. Conversely, an equilibrium in an OLG model that…
Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics and Excess Volatility in Firm Networks
We study the conditions under which input-output networks can dynamically attain a competitive equilibrium, where markets clear and profits are zero. We endow a classical firm network model with minimal dynamical rules t…

We prove the existence of an incomplete Radner equilibrium in a model with exponential investors and an endogenous noise tracker. We analyze a coupled system of ODEs and reduce it to a system of two coupled ODEs in order…
The Agentic Leash: Extracting Causal Feedback Fuzzy Cognitive Maps with LLMs
We design a large-language-model (LLM) agent system that extracts causal feedback fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) from raw text. The causal learning or extraction process is agentic both because of the LLM's semi-autonomy an…
