3. To keep agents in sync, PIANO uses a Cognitive Controller (CC) that acts as the “brain” of the agent.

This controller channels key information to relevant modules, helping agents keep consistent behaviors and ensuring that all actions and messages align.

Can someone please tell Sid Meirer that we did this whole Project Sid partly because I played 1000+ hours of his games?
