This Chapter's ACIs

ACI Name Takeaway
ACI-055 SAAC to MAAC: The Step Up Add breadth on top of depth. The step turns doing into arbitrating, and its entry condition is fluency with one agent. Budget its running cost and keep an off switch.
ACI-056 Composing a Fleet Split the work into lanes before naming roles. Rule each boundary as a dated test any node can apply, and audit every count of the fleet when a node joins.
ACI-057 The Price of a Fleet A fleet commits its own coordination. Classify commits by path, counting the board and the store's event files as coordination, mark the fleet era as its own regime, and budget coordination, disk and the machine as line items.
ACI-058 Many Estates, One Method Cite across estates by project, verify a finding locally before acting on it, land a fix upstream and sweep it out through each estate's own validation node, and check the ruling estate first.
