CHAL: Council of Hierarchical Agentic Language

Dimensions overall score 2.0

• CHAL is a multi-agent dialectic framework for belief optimization in defeasible domains, treating debate as structured belief revision with configurable value systems. We argue that the genuine value of debate, and dialectic systems as a whole, lies not in ground-truth tasks but in defeasible domains, where every position can in principle be defeated by better reasoning.problem 35%

• Multi-agent debate has emerged as a promising approach for improving LLM reasoning on ground-truth tasks, yet current methodologies face certain structural limitations: debate tends to induce a martingale over belief trajectories, majority voting accounts for most observed gains, and LLMs exhibit confidence escalation rather than calibration across rounds.

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 2.0/10 on the public viability pass. We provide a series of ablation experiments that demonstrate systematic and interpretable effects: the adjudicator's value system determines the debate's overall trajectories in latent belief space, council diversity refines beliefs for all participants, and the framework generalizes across broad fields. Code availability is flagged in the production record; the public repository link still needs proof alignment.result 35%
