A field guide to deciding with a council of models — and the dark geometry of consensus.

A practitioner read of human + multi-agent consensus: how a council of reasoners makes disagreement legible, the six modules that matter, how reasoners critique reasoners, and the dark geometry where consensus looks like agreement but is quietly wrong. Companion to the film The Fifth Mind.
