Architectural Comparison Summary
Unconstrained ReAct Loops
Stochastic autonomous agent swarms accumulate full conversation history and raw error tracebacks across recursive tool loops. Causes quadratic token growth, runaway cloud invoices, and 40%+ infinite loop risk.
P(Cascade Failure): 40% - 85% | O(N²) Context Growth
Elesium Deterministic FSM
Directed Acyclic StateGraphs isolate node context via typed Pydantic slices, pruning 90% of extraneous conversation tokens. Hard circuit breakers halt retries at 1 attempt before deterministic fallback.
P(Cascade Failure): 0.0% | Up to 78% Token Waste Cut
