The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

In our evaluation, we demonstrate that APWA can dynamically decompose complex queries into parallelizable workflows and scales on larger tasks in settings where prior systems fail completely.

C2weakest assumption

That complex agentic workflows can be reliably decomposed into non-interfering subproblems that require no cross-communication and can be executed independently on heterogeneous resources.

C3one line summary

APWA is a distributed multi-agent architecture that decomposes parallelizable agentic workflows into non-interfering subproblems for scalable execution on heterogeneous resources.
