Relationship to Planner-Worker Pattern

This paper is a direct follow-up to Research Paper #001 (Planner-Worker Pattern):

• Paper #001 established that autonomous multi-agent systems can operate continuously
• Paper #002 addresses the complementary question: Can they operate authentically?
• The Multi-Gate Framework extends the Planner-Worker architecture with verification layers
• Both papers are production-proven at Badlucksbane’s Lab
