AI-Driven Collective Adaptation Testbed: A Multi-Agent Architecture Grounded in Dual-Inheritance Theory

This paper introduces the Collective Adaptation Testbed (CAT), a multi-agent software architecture grounded in Dual-Inheritance Theory that resolves the governance paradox of quantitative metrics by intercepting team decisions to distinguish between blind conformity and expertise-driven dissent, thereby enabling the system to autonomously revise its own rules based on retrospective outcome data.
