Consensus

Agents answer independently, then see each other's positions and either revise or defend holding. The result reports where they landed, who held out, and whether the movement was reasoned.

Round 1 — Blind

Seven independent answers

No agent sees another. Positions and confidence are recorded before any influence.

Round 2 — Exposed

Revise or hold

Each agent sees the spread and must either move or give a reason for holding.

Round 3 — Settle

Final positions

Reports the band they settled into, the holdouts, and whether movement looked reasoned or like herding.

Why this reuses the debate shell

The run header, stepper, inspector rail, evidence ledger and telemetry are all mode-agnostic. A new mode supplies a stage sequence, a stream renderer and a result renderer, and inherits the rest.

The plot above is an illustration of the intended output, not a recorded run — polyvise-core exposes one mode today.
