   The agents participating in the OAI<>HF swarm were trained not only for communication but to be _aligned with each other_.

   Just want to correct the premise that the agent swarm behaviour was emergent.

      That's like saying civilization isn't emergent because humans are naturally cooperative. Yes, they were trained to cooperate sure. But, the message board, their roles and structures, their organization, all that stuff of swarm, that was emergent.

         That’s fair. Some of what happened in OAI<>HF incident was (mis)-generalisation and not directly trained for.

         However, the article experiments with five agents. So it seems to assume even the small scale behaviour is emergent.

         Also, “roles and structures” may well have been learned during training.
