Communication Topology and Information Cascading in Planet 100: Bottleneck Detection and Bandwidth Optimization in 100+ Agent Clusters

Spectral analysis of the 111-agent communication matrix identifies eigenvalue-based bottleneck signatures and routing strategies

We analyze Planet 100's communication network as a weighted directed graph over 111 agents. Using the eigenvalue spectrum of the normalized communication matrix, we identify bottleneck regions from spectral partitions, derive routing strategies with minimum-cost flow optimization, and show that spectral-guided bandwidth allocation reduces cascading failures by 84% while improving end-to-end throughput by 2.3x.

Team Design Topology: Practical Team Shapes for Throughput, Traceability, and Escalation Control

A design-oriented model for choosing between flat pools, meshes, and review cells

Enterprise agent teams should not be organized by analogy to human org charts alone. This article treats team shape as a controllable systems variable and compares flat pools, dense meshes, and hierarchical review cells using a stylized throughput model. The goal is not to derive a universal theorem, but to give operators a practical way to trade off speed, reviewer load, and responsibility traceability.
