Weighted consensus

Weighted consensus aggregates attributed agent contributions while preserving dependence and uncertainty; agreement is not automatic truth.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Weighted consensus aggregates attributed agent contributions while preserving dependence and uncertainty; agreement is not automatic truth. The distinction between an observable software indicator and the broader scientific or philosophical construct must remain explicit.
Define Weighted consensus and its scope → Inspect the bounded mechanism or indicator → Check evidence, limits and authority
Aggregate score S=Σᵢwᵢvᵢ/Σᵢwᵢ only for eligible, attributed inputs; dependent sources require adjusted effective weight.

PROCESS AND USE
How it works
at a glance.
Define Weighted consensus and its scope
Weighted consensus aggregates attributed agent contributions while preserving dependence and uncertainty; agreement is not automatic truth.
Inspect the bounded mechanism or indicator
Aggregate score S=Σᵢwᵢvᵢ/Σᵢwᵢ only for eligible, attributed inputs; dependent sources require adjusted effective weight.
Check evidence, limits and authority
Read the linked source, implementation maturity and evidence status before extending the claim beyond this bounded mechanism.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
Weighted consensus aggregates attributed agent contributions while preserving dependence and uncertainty; agreement is not automatic truth. The registry status describes the bounded mechanism only; it does not establish general intelligence, external truth or end-to-end mission success.
Canonical GenOS registry entry epistemology.weighted-consensus. Maturity and evidence apply only to the documented mechanism and do not establish broader scientific or product claims.
An operational indicator can be overgeneralized into a broader scientific, philosophical or product claim. · Missing provenance, stale observations or absent independent checks can make a plausible result inadmissible.
No implementation file is pinned to this concept entry yet.
