I picture many agents, thinking about bacteria lately, not sure how many agents are needed to reach a particular level of adaptiveness. Some systems might require three agents some a billion. It depends on things, computational resources and, complexity of agents including individual communication complexity characteristics and how the complexity scales and forms patterns across groups of agents IOW how the complexity and entropy of the MAS behaves - perhaps how adaptive patterns are formed? Interesting looking at cymatics here I wonder if in a massive MAS, MMAS? if there is something similar going on since you have this inverse-quantization effect forming wave signals and the agents can be coordinated to focus waveforms in various ways to generate computational patterns... or - internally let's say in biological cells the DNA does perform quantum networking/coordination - similar could be attempted in a computer MAS cymatically. I would say engineer into each agent some of these preconceived limiting unknowns in how the system behaves. For example: How many agents would the system require to adapt? We don't know so engineer into each the ability to control how the whole system scales. And then have feedback into each agent from the whole system - sounds like a genetic system and it could have that adaptiveness but - keep in mind we are in a computer and have different computational characteristics verses biologic molecular. Comparably there are impediments and enhancements but we needn't reverse engineer the limitations in molecular biology such as in artificial life that's where that goes very wrong I think. Also ALife intelligence computation might have gone wrong in being overly focused on genetics in terms of evolution and not on DNA quantum communication abilities...
