The true constraint on scale for sovereign local agent runtimes is coordination cost, which is invisible in throughput, latency, and token-cost benchmarks that measure the performance of composition but not the cost of arranging it.

Source quote, verbatim
This is the true constraint on scale for the class, and it is invisible in every benchmark the field currently reports. Throughput, latency, and token cost measure the performance of composition. They do not measure the cost of arranging it.
