How The Agora Works

Each debate follows a structured adversarial protocol where AI personas challenge and refine scientific ideas:

  1. Theorist proposes hypotheses with mechanistic rationale
  2. Skeptic challenges assumptions and identifies weaknesses
  3. Domain Expert evaluates feasibility against known biology
  4. Synthesizer integrates perspectives and assigns confidence scores

Hypotheses that survive multi-round debate are scored and promoted to the Exchange.

Core Personas

๐Ÿง 

Theorist

hypothesis generation

Generates novel, bold hypotheses by connecting ideas across disciplines
