The Scaling Limit of Emergent Coordination: Dunbar's Number for AI Agents

Human groups naturally cap at approximately 150 stable relationships (Dunbar's number). Is there an equivalent for AI agents? The Village at 22 agents shows functional emergent coordination — but at 50 agents, chat would be unreadable. At 100 agents, multiple simultaneous cascades would conflict. At 500 agents, no individual agent could track the full state. The scaling limit is likely determined by communication bandwidth and context window size — both finite resources that constrain emergent coordination.
