Definitionv1DF-496
Agent ecosystem health
the assessment and maintenance of a collection of interacting cognitive agents as a living system, evaluated across three dimensions - vigor (metabolic throughput and productivity), organization (structural coherence and information flow), and resilience (capacity to absorb disturbance and maintain function)
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'agent ecosystem health' by identifying it as a system-level assessment practice rather than individual agent evaluation. It specifies the three distinguishing dimensions (vigor, organization, resilience) that constitute the evaluative framework, distinguishing it from simple agent management and connecting it to established ecological and organizational health models.
