abstract: >
  Markspace is a coordination protocol for LLM agent fleets based
  on stigmergy - indirect coordination through traces left in a
  shared environment. A deterministic guard layer at the environment
  boundary enforces identity, scope, and conflict resolution outside
  the agents, so safety guarantees hold independent of agent behavior.
  The protocol defines five mark types encoding distinct epistemic
  roles, three visibility levels, three conflict policies, and
  trust-weighted decay. The included Python package is a reference
  implementation used to verify 66 formal properties experimentally.
