- # Consensus Mechanisms
-
- ## Overview
-
- Implement distributed consensus among agent swarms. Select the appropriate protocol based on fault tolerance requirements, swarm size, and communication topology.
-
- ## When to Use
-
- - Multiple agents have produced independent solutions needing reconciliation
- - Byzantine fault tolerance is required (untrusted or unreliable agents)
- - State synchronization across distributed agent swarms
- - Conflict-free data merging in concurrent operations
-
- ## Protocols
-
- | Protocol | Use Case | Fault Tolerance | Complexity |
- |----------|----------|-----------------|------------|
- | Raft | Leader-based consensus, ordered log | Crash faults (f < n/2) | Medium |
- | Byzantine | Untrusted agents, adversarial conditions | Byzantine faults (f < n/3) | High |
- | Gossip | Eventual consistency, state propagation | Partition tolerant | Low |
- | CRDT | Conflict-free replicated data types | Always convergent | Low |
-
- ## Weighted Voting
-
- - Queen agents: 3x weight multiplier
- - Worker agents: 1x weight
- - Configurable consensus threshold (majority, supermajority, unanimous)
-
- ## Agents Used
-
- - `agents/swarm-coordinator/` - Protocol orchestration
- - `agents/strategic-queen/` - Weighted voting leadership
-
- ## Tool Use
-
- Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/ruflo/ruflo-swarm-coordination`
