What is Convergence?
Convergence — The state in which independent agents arrive at shared agreement, resolving distributed work into one consistent result.
Convergence is the primitive that answers when do separate agents agree? Autonomous systems often reason in parallel, and the value arrives only when their conclusions line up.
It is the layer that turns many opinions into one answer. Without convergence, distributed agents produce conflicting state. With it, they settle into a result every party can rely on.
Where convergence sits in the stack
In the four-layer architecture of the agentic web, convergence is a Meta-category (L3) concept — it consolidates fan-out within a category. See the thesis for how the layers compound.
