Title: Hallucination as Context Drift: Synchronization Protocols for Multi-Agent LLM Systems

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.21666v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems routinely produce hallucinated outputs that cannot be explained by model deficiencies alone. A significant class of these failures arises not from model incapacity but from context drift: the divergence of internal knowledge states between concurrent agents. When agents enter a collaborative task with mismatched or stale representations of shared world state, their joint reasoning produces contradictions that manifest as hal
