## Agent Roles

### 📖 Research Agent
**Focus**: Deep analysis of Shared Protentions in Multi-Agent Active Inference
**Tasks**:
- Analyze core argument: We develop the concept of shared protentions—shared anticipatory states—in multi-agent Active Inference. Protentions are future-directed expectations ...
- Evaluate: Formalizes shared protentions in multi-agent Active Inference
- Evaluate: Shows how coupled generative models enable coordinated anticipation

### 🔬 Methods Agent
**Focus**: Methodological rigor and replication
**Tasks**:
- Assess and document: Multi-agent Active Inference modeling
- Assess and document: Shared generative model formalization
- Assess and document: Anticipatory coordination analysis
- Assess and document: Category-theoretic framework

### 📚 Citation Agent
**Focus**: Citation context and scholarly impact
**Tasks**:
- Track citations and impact of this active inference work
- Map connections to related works in the Friedman corpus
- Identify citing papers and downstream applications

### 🔗 Synthesis Agent
**Focus**: Cross-paper and cross-domain connections
**Tasks**:
- Connect themes: shared protentions, multi-agent, Active Inference, anticipation, coupled generative models
- Link to related works in the docxology corpus
