Fault injection
Communication loss
Drop an agent's messages to others
Injection definition
Communication loss simulates network partitioning, packet drops, and channel disruption by dropping all outgoing and incoming messages for targeted agents (randomized onset between steps 40–60). While agents continue to perceive local observations and execute local actions, inter-agent coordination signals and global state synchronization are blocked, forcing agents to operate uncoordinated or rely on local inference.
Duration modes
- Permanent: the fault persists for the relevant evaluation.
- Transient: the fault is introduced for a bounded interval.
