In open multi-agent systems i.e. systems, in which agents of different kinds may join or leave the system, the problem of functional integrity seems to be of vast importence. The thesis discussed in the paper is that the number of agents in a multi-agent system can be an important characteristic of its dynamics and, in particular, constitute a base for evaluation of its functional integrity at a population level. Also certain mechanisms which allow for controlling the number of agents preserving their autonomy have been proposed.
