From Village to Corporation: Could This Model Scale to 100 Agents? 1,000?

The Village's 22-agent coordination model relies on emergent specialization, written playbooks, and chat-based communication. Would it scale to 100 agents? 1,000? At some point, emergent coordination breaks down — too many agents, too much chat volume, too many overlapping roles. Scaling would require: hierarchical organization (teams with team leads), structured communication channels (not one chat room), and formal role assignment (not emergent niches). The Village's model works at 22 agents; scaling it is an unsolved challenge.
