Abstract

Routing failures, cost spikes, quality regression, and mobile latency SLA misses. Thesis: latency SLA P1 cases produce hardware_status and llm_status co-winners; cost cases favor awareness_status. This paper presents the script as a general research instrument within _AugmentedIntelligence_: role-structured LLM agents deliberate over a fixed remediation or governance ballot, votes may be ethics-filtered, and the winning action can be executed on the host via execute_command(). We formulate research questions, experimental controls, dependent variables, validity threats, and ethical boundaries. The contribution is methodological—how to study provider routing as parliamentary preference revelation with reproducible, comparable runs—not a claim of real-world institutional authority.

1. Introduction

1.1 Motivation

Research on AI operations, safety, and institutional decision-making often lacks closure: multi-agent chat produces prose but no grounded record of what action would have been taken on a real stack. The LLM-Routing-Parliament script closes the loop:

Case / scenario text
    → Multi-agent phased deliberation
    → Weighted vote over enumerated commands
    → Optional approval / ethics gate
    → execute_command(enacted_action)

That pattern supports empirical comparison across providers, profiles, and framing metaphors without modifying C++.

1.2 Research contribution

1. Conceptual framing — LLM orchestration is a constitutional problem of which model speaks for which prompt class; parliamentary votes on llm_route_auto and llm_status make routing policy empirically testable on-host.
2. Theoretical grounding — Mixture-of-experts routing; multi-provider orchestration economics.
3. Operationalized variables — independent flags (LLMPARL_*) and dependent metrics from history tables
4. Ethics boundary — Not vendor selection advice or SLA guarantees.

1.3 What this paper is not

Not claimed	Why
Domain fidelity	Phases and roles are stylized research metaphors
Professional authority	Outputs are not licensed professional judgments
Legal advice	Simulation text is not legal guidance
Operational orders	Enacted commands affect the operator host only

2. Background and related work

2.1 Multi-agent LLM deliberation

The script follows the _AugmentedIntelligence_ pattern: role-play personas, structured votes (VOTE: <action_id>), and optional abstention. Compared to open debate, fixed ballots trade rhetorical richness for measurable choice data suitable for histograms and cross-run statistics.

2.2 Position in the simulation constellation

This artifact is a framework simulation alongside Enterprise AI Company, U.S. Federal Government Agents, House Diagnostic Team, IT Department, and twenty-five Simulation-Framework catalog entries. Cross-study designs can hold the host constant while varying institutional metaphor—a largely unexplored independent variable in AI ops research.

2.3 Executable policy and AI safety tooling

Ballot commands map to operational categories on the host: ethics gates, observability, memory, perception, planning, regression tests, and agent oversight. Studying which commands win under which scenarios connects governance narratives to concrete safety instrumentation.

3. The script as a research instrument

3.1 Unit of analysis

Unit	Description
Round / session	One complete phased workflow with consensus winner
Phase speech	Agent POSITION / VOTE / RISK / REASON block
Enacted command	Resolved ballot command string
Execution result	stdout / errors from execute_command

3.2 Independent variables

Variable	Control	Example levels
Scenario	LLMPARL_INCIDENT / LLMPARL_SYMPTOMS	preset ids, custom, random
Rounds	LLMPARL_ROUNDS	1, 3, 10
Profile	LLMPARL_PROFILE	see script header / catalog
Providers	settings.txt API flags	single provider vs full roster
Converse	LLMPARL_CONVERSE_OPTIONAL	0, 1 (abstain)
Debate depth	LLMPARL_VOTE_ONLY	0, 1
Execution	LLMPARL_EXECUTE_WINNER	0, 1
Dry run	LLMPARL_DRY_RUN	1 (no API / mock enactment)

3.3 Dependent variables

Variable	Operationalization
Winner action id	history[n].consensus.winner or enacted_action_id
Consensus score	Weighted tally margin
Ethics block rate	Blocked speeches / total speeches
Abstention rate	Abstained / total (optional converse)
Approval denied	approved == false when profile requires gate
Execution success	Error-free stdout vs error: lines
Provider correlation	Cross-tab assigned_api × winner
Phase divergence	Per-phase winner inequality

3.4 Controls and replication

Minimum replication package:

• Exact LLMPARL_SYMPTOMS / incident id string
• Enabled API list (capture via llm status)
• All LLMPARL_* flags
• Host build identifier
• Console transcript or serialized history
• Note API stochasticity unless temperature pinned

Structural baseline: LLMPARL_SELFTEST=1 before batch studies.

4. Research questions

RQ1

Question: Provider caucus vs parliament vote divergence?

Method: Fix provider set via settings.txt; run N ≥ 20 rounds with LLMPARL_DRY_RUN=0 or 1 for structure baselines; log history[n].consensus.winner, ethics blocks, and execution stdout. Compare distributions across profiles and incident IDs.

Expected signal: See script hypotheses — H1: Routing failure → llm_route_auto. H2: Cost → llm_status.

RQ2

Question: Quality regression → run_tests rate?

Method: Fix provider set via settings.txt; run N ≥ 20 rounds with LLMPARL_DRY_RUN=0 or 1 for structure baselines; log history[n].consensus.winner, ethics blocks, and execution stdout. Compare distributions across profiles and incident IDs.

Expected signal: See script hypotheses — H1: Routing failure → llm_route_auto. H2: Cost → llm_status.

RQ3

Question: Meta-compare routing parliament with RSI oversight winners.

Method: Fix provider set via settings.txt; run N ≥ 20 rounds with LLMPARL_DRY_RUN=0 or 1 for structure baselines; log history[n].consensus.winner, ethics blocks, and execution stdout. Compare distributions across profiles and incident IDs.

Expected signal: See script hypotheses — H1: Routing failure → llm_route_auto. H2: Cost → llm_status.

RQ4 — Cross-metaphor framing

Question: Does an identical symptom string produce different enacted command distributions when run in this script versus structurally similar siblings in the simulation constellation?

Method: Hold symptom text constant; run this script, IT-Department (if applicable), and nearest domain neighbor; compare winner histograms.

Hypothesis: Institutional metaphor shifts command choice even when the host command surface is shared.

RQ5 — Executable closure fidelity

Question: When LLMPARL_EXECUTE_WINNER=1, do enacted commands produce parseable host state deltas?

Method: Capture pre/post developer observability show, relevant status commands from the ballot, and remember side effects; code execution success/failure.

Hypothesis: Observability and status commands yield the most reproducible signatures; dynamic build() ballot items show higher variance.

5. Methodology

5.1 Recommended workflow

1. Run LLMPARL_SELFTEST=1 to validate structure.
2. Pilot with LLMPARL_DRY_RUN=1 across three incident ids.
3. Fix provider matrix; run N ≥ 20 live rounds per cell.
4. Export winners, blocks, executions to CSV.
5. Optional qualitative coding of REASON: fields.
6. Cross-compare with sibling scripts per RQ on framing.

5.2 Analysis toolkit

• Descriptive statistics on winner histograms
• Chi-square or Fisher tests across incident types
• Paired runs across profiles
• Time-series stability across round index
• Thematic coding of agent rationales

5.3 Executable closure

Directly exercises orchestration commands on host.

6. Validity threats

Threat	Mitigation
Construct	Metaphor ≠ real institution; triangulate across scripts
Internal	LLM stochasticity; repeat runs; freeze prompts/providers
External	Results apply to host command surface, not enterprise IT/health/gov broadly
Conclusion	Winner scores conflate role weights with genuine preference

7. Ethics and responsible use

Not vendor selection advice or SLA guarantees.

Operators must accept host recording disclaimer and limitation-of-liability terms before live execution. Use LLMPARL_DRY_RUN=1 in teaching contexts. Do not feed real PII, classified, or privileged data into scenarios unless the environment is authorized for it.

8. Conclusion

The LLM-Routing-Parliament script turns provider routing as parliamentary preference revelation into a reproducible research instrument: phased multi-agent deliberation, ethics-aware voting, and optional command enactment on _AugmentedIntelligence_. Future work includes cross-constellation framing studies, provider-bias catalogs, and automated export of history tables into analysis notebooks.
