Debate Fragment: Round-Robin Orchestration
FleetingDefender fragment file for the adversarial debate on how a fleet of agents
should orchestrate its debate. This file is OWNED by the round-robin defender
and holds exactly one named argdown block. It is merged into the
agents-debate-map by :argdown-include and Argdown’s merge-by-title, so the
defender extends the [round-robin] node here without redefining its seed
description. The cartographer leaves it empty.

(1) [rr-src-friction-is-output] ---- (2) a friction edge between two rival positions exists only if some defender read both and drew it; full independence produces none, so either the map carries no documented disagreement or an aggregator must add the edges post-hoc — combination is deferred and non-trivial, not free and lossless. #(affirmation péremptoire) // ---- ATK 4 → [free-for-all] : real-time reaction is the nudging the protocol freezes to kill ---- [ffa-realtime-rationale] - <rr-atk-ffa-moving-target> <rr-atk-ffa-moving-target>: concurrent, barrier-less writing makes each defender react to a map mutating under it — the quickest nudges the slowest and an attack may target a node being revised mid-write — the live cross-influence the protocol freezes phases to suppress; round-robin reads a settled committed state instead. (1) [rr-src-frozen-snapshot] (2) [rr-src-seed-readfirst] ---- (3) the protocol isolates cross-influence precisely because the quickest writer nudging the slowest corrupts neutrality; free-for-all's real-time reaction reinstates that nudging and adds write races, whereas round-robin's serialised read-then-add gives a stable committed map to read with neither defect. #(affirmation péremptoire) // ---- ATK 5 → [judge-tournament] : elimination destroys the documented-disagreement payoff ---- [judge-tournament] - <rr-atk-tourney-destroys-residue> <tourney-is-challenge-and-hold> - <rr-atk-tourney-destroys-residue> <rr-atk-tourney-destroys-residue>: a bracket advancing winners "until a single conclusion stands" discards losing positions, destroying the documented disagreement and unsettled residue the protocol names as the actual payoff; an accumulative map preserves them.

(1) [rr-src-suitable-declared] ---- (2) the suitability gate no-debate demands is cleared by the cartographer's seed, which declares the question suitable and enumerates positions first; establishing suitability is the cartographer's step, not each defender's, so round-robin operates inside an already-established debate and manufactures no controversy. #(affirmation péremptoire) // ---- DEFEND <rr-simplicity-is-robust> vs <par-vs-rr-baton-head-of-line> ---- // (rebut the "illusory robustness / permanent block"; concede the latency cost) <par-vs-rr-baton-head-of-line> - <rr-react-baton-skippable> <rr-react-baton-skippable>: head-of-line latency is a throughput cost, not a collapse cause, and a stalled defender is skipped by the same orchestrator degradation phase-parallel relies on — so the robustness claim (freedom from the two DOCUMENTED collapse causes) stands while the latency cost is granted. (1) [rr-src-degrades-skip] (2) [rr-src-parallel-collapse] ---- (3) the orchestrator's "skip it, note the gap" degradation applies to a baton turn exactly as to a phase report, so a stalled defender is skipped rather than permanently blocking downstream ones; and head-of-line latency is neither of the two documented collapse causes (unowned barrier, clobbering), which the baton still lacks by construction — the robustness claim holds, the latency cost is conceded. #(affirmation péremptoire) // ---- DEFEND <rr-simplicity-is-robust> vs <nd-atk-robustness-self-inflicted> : scope ---- <nd-atk-robustness-self-inflicted> - <rr-react-robustness-is-conditional> <rr-react-robustness-is-conditional>: rr-simplicity-is-robust is conditional on a debate being run — round-robin incurs least coordination hazard AMONG the debate forms; whether to debate at all is the separate no-debate-vs-the-rest dispute, not a rebuttal of round-robin's intra-debate robustness. (1) [rr-src-suitable-declared] ---- (2) given the cartographer has declared a debate suitable, the live comparison is between orchestrations, and round-robin's freedom from the two documented collapse causes is a real advantage over its rivals; nd-atk-robustness-self-inflicted presupposes no-debate's own thesis (forgo the debate) and so answers a different question, leaving the conditional robustness claim intact. #(affirmation péremptoire) // ---- <rr-attacks-the-real-map> : DEFEND the attack-targeting half; CONCEDE formation-anchoring ---- <par-vs-rr-anchoring-is-the-price> - <rr-react-readtoattack-is-endorsed> <agg-reading-map-is-anchoring> - <rr-react-readtoattack-is-endorsed> <nd-atk-interaction-is-anchoring> - <rr-react-readtoattack-is-endorsed> <rr-react-readtoattack-is-endorsed>: reading a rival to ATTACK it is the protocol's own attack-phase operation, not anchoring; anchoring is scoped to forming one's OWN case, and round-robin's stable committed read dominates free-for-all's moving target and independent-aggregate's blindness.

(1) [rr-src-suitable-declared] (2) [rr-src-friction-is-output] ---- (3) the substantive gate — several defensible but incompatible answers backed by sources of weight — is satisfied by the run's own output, not the cartographer's assertion: the surviving cross-position friction edges ARE the incompatible answers, and they rest on verbatim-quoted premises whose weight is independent of the reasoned bridges; so suitability is shown by the debate it produced, and nd's party-discount of the declaration leaves that demonstrated weight untouched. #(affirmation péremptoire) // ---- R2-4 → <par-react2-rr-concession-vindicates-the-split> (attacks <rr-react-readtoattack-is-endorsed>) : CONCEDE(narrow) ---- // par: round-robin adopted parallel's blind-form/sighted-attack split, so reading-to-attack is no advantage OVER parallel. [rr-concede-split-is-shared]: CONCEDED in scope — the blind-form / sighted-attack split IS shared with phase-parallel, and reading a frozen rival to attack it is no advantage of round-robin OVER phase-parallel — both designs endorse it and round-robin claims none. The round-robin/parallel difference reduces to how that shared split is EXECUTED — an owned barrier (the residual liveness hazard par itself concedes) versus a baton that needs none — which is carried at rr-react-blind-baton-buys-both, not at this node; par-react2 lands on an over-claim rr-react-readtoattack-is-endorsed does not make. #(affirmation péremptoire) <rr-react-readtoattack-is-endorsed> - [rr-concede-split-is-shared] // ---- R2-5 → <tourney-react-residue-is-the-shared-crux> (attacks <rr-react-disagreement-is-the-goal>) : DEFEND ---- // tourney: the residue is shared crux; where weight COULD break the tie, leaving it documented under-delivers on the concrete-conclusion criterion. <tourney-react-residue-is-the-shared-crux> - <rr-react-weight-legible-without-bracket> <rr-react-weight-legible-without-bracket>: conceding the residue is shared does not collapse round-robin into the bracket — round-robin renders evidential weight legible ON the map via the epistemic tags, so a tie that weight CAN break is shown to any reader without an advancing step; the only unclosed residue is whether that weighing must be made EXPLICIT (a formal bracket) or read off the coloured map, which tournament's own concession grants is a defensible implicit reading. (1) [rr-src-documented-disagreement] (2) [rr-src-friction-is-output] (3) [tourney-concede-residue-is-the-crux] ---- (4) where weight genuinely ties the documented disagreement IS the right output, and where weight could break the tie the tags already render that weight on the accumulating map, so round-robin under-delivers nothing the concrete-conclusion criterion demands — it suppresses no tie-break, it displays it; the shared crux is therefore solely explicit-vs-implicit adjudication, on which tourney-concede-residue-is-the-crux grants the implicit reader defensible, leaving the bracket's necessity as documented residue, not a defeat of accumulation. #(affirmation péremptoire)
