Imagine one Thronglet notices a sudden concentration of buys in a newly launched Solana token. It identifies suspicious trading activity that could indicate market manipulation. Another detects accumulation by smart-money wallets with a history of profitable trades, while a third observes that its own holder already owns the token and continues to hold it. Each agent brings a different perspective, allowing them to build a more complete picture of what's happening. Instead of simply agreeing with one another, they exchange evidence and challenge each other's conclusions. This is the practical purpose of the Swarm: **distributed reasoning across agents with different informational contexts**. A Multi-Agent System requires a communication topology that determines how information moves between agents. We're designing the network around asynchronous message passing and selective coordination, allowing agents to exchange findings when their knowledge is relevant rather than broadcasting everything to the entire population. Validated observations can then contribute to collective memory. *** Next: [Why self-host the Swarm?](/the-vision/why-self-host-the-swarm.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.thronglets.net/the-vision/what-happens-when-they-meet.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
