Decoupling Thought from Speech: Knowledge-Grounded Counterfactual Reasoning for Resilient Multi-Agent Argumentation

arXiv:2606.10475v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent debate frameworks have been shown to improve large language model performance in convergent tasks, but they are currently optimized in a way that heavily favors final output accuracy rather than stability of the process. During long-horizon exchanges reactive systems under sustained perturbations often experience logic degradation, argument repetition, and role drift. To structurally prevent the identity loss and maintain the process fidelity, we introduce Knowledge-Grounded Counterfactual Reasoning (KG-CFR), a dual-stage architectu
The rapid advancement of large language models necessitates robust frameworks to enhance their reliability and stability in complex, multi-agent interactions, addressing observed failure modes.
This work directly addresses critical weaknesses in current multi-agent AI systems, offering a path to more stable, reliable, and trustworthy AI deployments in diverse applications.
The introduction of Knowledge-Grounded Counterfactual Reasoning provides a novel architectural approach to prevent degradation in long-horizon multi-agent debates, moving beyond purely accuracy-driven optimizations.
