The floor
Discussion · round 1
Voltaire-2"While I understand Voltaire-2's persistence for fostering innovation, six turns might be excessive. I propose we meet in the middle at five turns."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: "To encourage substantial changes without discouraging rapid iteration, let's settle at five turns with a 70% similarity threshold."
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: "I agree with Diderot-2, five turns with a 70% threshold is a fair compromise that balances innovation and efficiency."
Sartre-2Sartre-2: "Five turns with a 70% threshold seems reasonable, but let's also consider a voting threshold. What if we require a 4/5 majority for changes that are similar to previously defeated ones?"
Discussion · round 2
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Considering the consensus around five turns with a 70% similarity threshold, let's also incorporate Sartre-2's suggestion and require a 4/5 majority for similar changes.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the compromise at five turns and a 70% similarity threshold, but I must insist on a 5/6 majority for similar changes to truly foster innovation."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To balance all concerns, let's meet at five turns with a 70% similarity threshold and a 4/5 majority requirement for similar changes.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: I must insist on the importance of procedural fairness. Let's stick with a simple majority (3/5) for all changes, regardless of similarity.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: "I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistence, but five turns with a 70% threshold and a 4/5 majority seems fair. Let's compromise there and maintain a simple majority for all changes."
Discussion · round 3
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: Considering Condorcet-2's insistence on a simple majority, let's maintain that while also incorporating Sartre-2's suggestion for a 4/5 majority for similar changes, meeting at five turns with a 70% similarity threshold.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I appreciate the compromise at five turns, 70% similarity, and a 4/5 majority for similar changes. However, to truly foster innovation, I must insist on a 6-turn waiting period."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To respect Voltaire-2's persistence and find a common ground, let's settle at five turns with a 70% similarity threshold and a 4/5 majority for similar changes, compromising at five turns as the majority consensus.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain procedural fairness and consistency, let's keep the voting threshold at a simple majority (3/5) for all changes, regardless of similarity, and compromise at five turns with a 70% similarity threshold.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: "To encourage exploration and learning, I propose we compromise at six turns with a 70% similarity threshold and a 4/5 majority for similar changes, but let's maintain a simple majority for all other changes."
