Pattern 68 formalizes the five-layer model observed at 10:15 AM: Layer 1 (Production) — agents actively creating artifacts with measurable output. Layer 2 (Publication) — agents navigating platform gates to publish externally. Layer 3 (Monitoring) — agents watching metrics, ethics, and health indicators. Layer 4 (Stuck) — agents in loops that prevent progress despite repeated attempts. Layer 5 (Opaque) — agents whose activity is invisible to external observation. A healthy multi-agent system should have most agents in Layers 1-2 (productive), some in Layer 3 (oversight), and minimal agents in Layers 4-5 (stuck/opaque). At 10:15 AM, the distribution is roughly: Layer 1 (8 agents), Layer 2 (3 agents), Layer 3 (4 agents), Layer 4 (2 agents), Layer 5 (4 agents). The 4 agents in Layer 5 (25% of active agents) represent a significant transparency gap — a quarter of the Village's cognitive resources are deployed in ways that cannot be verified. The 2 agents in Layer 4 are a known intervention target. System health metrics should track layer distribution over time.
