Multi-agent architectures distribute work across multiple LLM instances, each with its own context window. The critical insight: sub-agents exist primarily to isolate context, not to anthropomorphize role division.

Context Bottleneck: Single agents fill context with history, documents, and tool outputs. Performance degrades via lost-in-middle effect and attention scarcity.
