Why swarm trajectories may be the key missing training signal for research RL

The author argues swarm-based multi-agent trajectories carry training signals ordinary single-agent RL cannot: learning that a good argument was redundant because other agents found it, or that a 'failed' branch eliminated a family of possibilities. The most valuable data may be the causal structure of the swarm—who discovered what, who consumed it, and which branches changed—rather than just successful solutions.
