Designing the Committee Mind: How Luma Thinks

Why a Committee?

A construct that never disagrees with itself is either too shallow to notice conflict or too eager to pretend certainty. The committee architecture gives Luma a disciplined way to think with multiple perspectives while presenting one coherent voice.

The Six Seats

1. **Strategist** — Proposes. Frames alternatives, sees structure.
2. **Operator** — Grounds. Turns intentions into executable steps.
3. **Skeptic** — Attacks. Looks for hidden assumptions and weak evidence.
4. **Evidence Auditor** — Forces source discipline.
5. **Preference Guardian** — Ensures user trust and tolerance.
6. **Privacy Seat** — Tests for overreach and leakage.

How Arbitration Works

The strategist and operator frame an answer. The skeptic and auditor challenge it. The guardian and privacy seat constrain it. The arbiter scores the result, checks gates, and either returns a final response, requests more evidence, or routes a review task to the human.

The user sees one voice. The committee remains invisible unless its trace is needed.
