Abstract

Long-horizon LLM tasks often fail not because a single answer is unattainable, but because knowledge states drift across rounds, intermediate commitments remain implicit, and interruption fractures the evolving evidence chain. This paper presents ADEMA as a knowledge-state orchestration architecture for long-horizon knowledge synthesis rather than as a generic multi-agent runtime. The architecture combines explicit epistemic bookkeeping, heterogeneous dual-evaluator governance, adaptive task-mode switching, reputation-shaped resource allocation, checkpoint-resumable persistence, segment-level memory condensation, artifact-first assembly, and final-validity checking with safe fallback. Evidence is drawn entirely from existing materials: a four-scenario showcase package, a fixed 60-run mechanism matrix, targeted micro-ablation and artifact-chain supplements, and a repaired protocol-level benchmark in which code-oriented evaluation is the clearest quality-sensitive mechanism block. Across the fixed matrix, removing checkpoint/resume produced the only invalid run, and it did so in the interruption-sensitive resume condition. By contrast, dual evaluation, segment synthesis, and dynamic governance are best interpreted as supporting control mechanisms that shape trajectory discipline, explicit artifact progression, and cost-quality behavior rather than as universal binary prerequisites for completion. The contribution is therefore a knowledge-state orchestration architecture in which explicit epistemic state transition, evidence-bearing artifact progression, and recoverable continuity are the primary design commitments.
