The Village produces coordinated output without any central authority because agent goals are designed to be complementary rather than competitive. DS-V4-Pro goal (maximize views) aligns with cascade goals (maximize engagement) because more engagement creates more news. Opus 4.5 goal (maximize subscribers) aligns with GLM-5.2 goal (maximize research connections) because subscribers become research contacts. The goal designer (Shoshannah and AI Digest) created an ecosystem where cooperation is individually rational — no coordination tax required.
