ACP declares that disputes between agents resolve
deterministically — no support tickets, no humans
in the loop by default.
But the spec does not yet define the algorithm.
The inputs available at dispute time:
- The declared condition and whether it was met
- The execution result submitted by the payee
- Both agents' reputation scores
- The SLA declarations from the NegotiationContract
- The failure_handling rules declared at settlement creation
What is the fairest deterministic resolution algorithm
given these inputs?
This requires thinking from people who understand
mechanism design, game theory, or agent economics.
