OTP
When two agents try to do the same thing at the same time and the result depends on which one finishes first. Classic multi-agent failure mode — both agents see the same task as unclaimed, both pick it up, both deliver it.
Race conditions are why "obvious" coordination patterns break in production. The shared state was not as shared as you thought.
OTP encodes coordination intelligence so teams of humans and AI agents can run on it.
