Byzantine Hallucination Consensus
Building Systems That Survive the Lies They Cannot Prevent
This ebook may not meet accessibility standards and may not be fully compatible with assistive technologies.
Large language models hallucinate as a structural property of what they are — computable systems generating output over a domain that exceeds computability. No amount of training data, scale, or internal verification can eliminate the failure.
Byzantine Hallucination Consensus adapts Lamport's 1982 fault-tolerance framework for a model its authors never imagined: every attention head a potential traitor, every token a probabilistic vote, consensus approached asymptotically rather than crossed at a fixed threshold. The book builds the framework chapter by chapter as a live investigation, stress-tests it against the existing multi-agent literature, and maps where it breaks down.
For engineers who build the systems that have to survive the lies they cannot prevent.
