Human organizations plainly divide large projects, which shows that some decomposition works when the parts keep rich shared context and long working time. The stronger form stated here, with subtasks small enough for agents that see little context and with recombination that is reliable, has fared less well when tested: Ought's experiments with human participants in 2018 and 2019 found that tasks of interesting complexity required extremely large trees of work and that factored evaluation of even short arguments was brittle, and the 2021 book summarization study that used a fixed recursive decomposition listed the independence assumption behind decomposition as a possible fundamental limit. Language model agents that delegate to sub-agents show decomposition is practical for some tasks. The prior sits below even because the direct tests were discouraging, and above low because those tests were small and used tight time limits per subtask.","seeded_by_claim_id":"51416960-dcb1-40ac-8b4f-9948df642ecf"},"quantity":null,"threshold_of":null,"question":null,"formalization":null,"formalization_pending":null,"formalization_history":[],"verification":null,"lean_checks":[],"lean_checks_total":0,"waiting_messages":[{"trigger":"structure_and_assess","from":"the system","sender_node_id":null,"sent_at":"2026-11-11T19:12:37.896Z","paid":false,"summary":"New claim onboarded.
