Definition
False premise, hallucinated fact, or wrong inference introduced by one agent in a multi-agent chain becomes load-bearing for downstream agents. Each downstream agent treats the upstream output as ground truth without independent verification.Distinct from
- GER-328 — Agents anchor on agent outputs as ground truth → this code. Chatbot affirms user beliefs → GER-328.
- GER-512 — Fabrication propagates through agent chain → this code. Single-turn fabrication paired with action directive → GER-512.
