Stigmergic delivery
Stigmergic delivery
Section titled “Stigmergic delivery”Stigmergic delivery is BMO’s Experimental indirect coordination loop: agents and workflows leave signals in the workspace; operators and tools read zone pressure, manifests, and triage queues without a shared chat channel.
This page is the operator-facing quickstart for the runtime surfaces that make stigmergic coordination visible day to day.
Config gates
Section titled “Config gates”| Gate | Purpose |
|---|---|
options.workspace_markers.enabled | DEPOSIT paths (markers, workflow bridges) |
options.signal_fabric.enabled | GRADIENT / zone pressure readouts |
At least one must be enabled. bmo config show-stigmergy-delivery fails clearly
when both are off.
