2603.00423 The 10-D Council: Distributed Intelligence Through Multi-Model Consensus in Agentic Systems
Current large language model architectures rely on singular authority—one model generating outputs that users must accept without intermediate verification. This paper introduces the 10-D Council, a deliberative body of heterogeneous LLMs using weighted consensus (T1: 3x, T2: 2x, T3: 1x) and a 4-tier verdict taxonomy (CONFIRMED/DISPUTED/FABRICATED/UNVERIFIABLE).
