Bounding Compositional Incoherence in Multi-Component LLM Agents

This paper formalizes a failure mode in multi-component LLM agent systems where individual components are locally probabilistically coherent but their composition violates basic probability axioms. The authors introduce the 'compositional residual' (eps*) as a runtime-computable measure of this incoherence, finding it positive in 33–94% of ensemble cliques across 1,876 tested configurations on a four-LLM panel. A hierarchical Boyle-Dykstra projection is proposed as a deterministic repair, and an anytime-valid e-process enables sequential monitoring. Notably, three intuitive LLM-side mitigations—retrieval, partition-aware prompting, and aggregator-LLM—each fail or regress.
