arXiv:2607.04240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The transition of Large Language Models (LLMs) from passive generators to autonomous agents has introduced significant challenges in reliability, security, and state management. Current agentic architectures are often constructed ad-hoc, prone to hallucination cascades, infinite loops, and prompt injection attacks. This paper argues that many of these failure modes can be analyzed using control motifs long studied in systems biology, provided the comparison is made at the level of typed interfaces and coordination structure rather than literal bi
The paper directly addresses critical failure modes emerging from increasingly complex AI agent architectures, which are undergoing rapid development and deployment.
Improving the reliability and safety of AI agents is crucial for their widespread adoption and the transformation of white-collar workflows, directly impacting economic productivity.
This research suggests a new theoretical framework for designing more robust AI agents, shifting the paradigm from ad-hoc solutions to biologically inspired control principles.
