Overview

Process Swarm is a system architecture designed to eliminate cross-artifact divergence in agentic AI workflows.

Instead of treating outputs independently, Process Swarm enforces:

• A single canonical artifact
• Derivation-only downstream transformations
• Validation as an execution gate
• Immutable lineage across artifacts

The result is deterministic, auditable multi-artifact generation.

Key Concepts

• Canonical Artifact: single source of truth
• Derivation Constraint: no new facts downstream
• Validation Gates: fail-closed execution
• Lineage: hash-linked artifact chain
• Execution Graphs: DAG-based orchestration
