Definitionv1DF-485
Parallel versus sequential agent execution
the structural analysis of dependency that determines whether agents run simultaneously or must wait for prior results, with parallel execution enabling speedup and sequential execution maintaining correctness
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'parallel versus sequential agent execution' by identifying it as a structural analysis of dependency rather than a preference. It specifies what distinguishes parallel execution (enabling speedup) from sequential execution (maintaining correctness) and clearly differentiates it from mere execution style preferences.
