MNEMA: A Witness Lattice for Multi-Agent AI Memory
Today's agentic AI fails three ways: agents miscoordinate, memory gets quietly poisoned, and decisions can't be audited. A new EUMAS 2026 submission argues the fix is to stop treating memory as static records. Make it *living* — every memory unit becomes an autonomous cryptographic witness that interacts with other witnesses (agree, disagree, give birth to new witnesses, split, coalesce, retire), and decisions emerge from a fixed signed protocol rather than from a single orchestrator.
