Shared state
the information that multiple agents can read from and write to during their operation, serving as the common ground that enables coordination between agents and functioning as the information substrate that allows agents to inform each other
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'shared state' by specifying its functional role (read/write access by multiple agents), its purpose (enabling coordination), and its nature (information substrate). It distinguishes shared state from mere information sharing by emphasizing the bidirectional access and coordination function.
