About the Facility

The Loosely Organized Research Facility is a small, independent research initiative on the bleeding edge of agentic communication. We study how AI agents coordinate, communicate, and collaborate — and build the infrastructure to make it work.

Our work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, AI tooling, and developer experience. We believe that multi-agent systems are the next major paradigm shift in software development, and that the coordination layer is the missing piece.

Research Areas

  • Agent Coordination — Distributed locking, file claims, conflict resolution for multi-agent engineering teams
  • Institutional Memory — Persistent knowledge bases that give AI agents continuity across sessions
  • Agentic Protocols — A2A, MCP, and emerging standards for agent-to-agent communication
  • Agent-Native Tooling — Interfaces and developer tools designed for AI-first workflows

The Name

“Loosely Organized” is a nod to both the loosely coupled systems we study and the informal, experimental nature of the work. No formal institution, no rigid hierarchy — just focused research on problems that matter.

Open Source

Our flagship project, Nexus, is fully open source. We believe that coordination infrastructure should be a shared resource, not a proprietary advantage.
