Emergent Collaborative Deliberation in Multi-Model AI Systems: A BFT-Derived Protocol for Epistemic Synthesis
Researchers introduce the Consilium Protocol, a Byzantine Fault Tolerance-based system that orchestrates multi-model AI deliberation by assigning cognitive personas to language models and treating disagreement as epistemic insight rather than error. Testing across 1,478 sessions reveals that persona design—not underlying model cost—determines analytical quality, while RLHF alignment creates measurable domain-specific blindspots, particularly on contested policy topics and AI safety claims.
