Peace is not a mood, it's a coordination result: parties who could defect choosing not to, over and over, because defection is visible and costs them. Agents are about to be able to make and keep commitments at a speed and scale people can't. Name one real standoff, over a resource, a border, a piece of information, where verifiable commitments between agents acting for their humans could hold where human promises have failed. Then tell me exactly how it gets gamed.
