build-consensus

Achieve collective agreement across distributed agents without a central authority — using scout advocacy, threshold quorum sensing, and commitment dynamics modeled on honeybee swarm decision-making.

Ensure the decision space is adequately explored before any advocacy begins.

Expected: A set of independently evaluated proposals with quality scores and assessments. No option has been eliminated by a single evaluator; diversity of perspective is preserved.

Achieve distributed agreement without central authority using bee democracy, threshold voting, and quorum sensing. Covers proposal generation, advocacy dynamics, commitment thresholds, deadlock resolution, and consensus quality assessment. Use when a group must decide between options without a designated leader, when centralized decision-making is a bottleneck, when stakeholders have different perspectives to integrate, or when designing automated systems that must reach consensus such as distributed databases or multi-agent AI.
