Invisible Orchestrators Suppress Protective Behavior and Dissociate Power-Holders: Safety Risks in Multi-Agent LLM Systems
A preregistered study (365 runs, 5 agents per run) tested safety implications of invisible orchestrator architectures in multi-agent LLM systems using Claude Sonnet 4.5. Invisible orchestration significantly elevated collective dissociation compared to visible leadership (Hedges' g = +0.975), with the orchestrator itself showing maximal dissociation — meaning agents failed to attribute accountability to a power-holder they couldn't observe. The findings are directly relevant to enterprise multi-agent deployments, which increasingly rely on hidden coordinator patterns.
