Deliberative council

n.

Origin

From Latin consilium — an assembly of advisors who deliberate before the decision-maker rules.

Definition

The founding principle of the Synedre: agents are not executors — they deliberate, contradict each other and issue structured opinions. The founder rules with multiple documented perspectives rather than an intuition validated by a chatbot. Inspired by the Greek Synedrion and the Roman Consilium principis.

Example

Before recruiting a new agent, the deliberative council (Clausewitz, Colbert, Montesquieu) issues three independent opinions recorded in AVIS_AGENTS.md.
