LLM Parkinsonism: Executive-Control Failure, Token-Inefficient Persistence, and an Uncertainty-Aware Global Executive Control Architecture for Autonomous Language-Model Agents

arXiv:2609.30662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can plan, use tools, write code, and execute long-horizon workflows, yet strong local competence does not guarantee project-level executive control. Agents may continue acting after the original objective is satisfied, producing low-value refinements, repeated verification, and repairs to self-created complexity. We use LLM Parkinsonism as a narrowly defined, non-clinical metaphor for this pattern of persistent action despite diminishing task-level value. We argue that the problem is not explained by autoregressive next-token prediction alone, but more directly by concentrating proposal generation, scope interpretat
