AQR-C: Convergence of Independently Adaptive Federated Quorum Controllers

Potential-guided selection, robust hysteresis, conflict-colored activation, and failover rendezvous

Research reportMF-PRISM-DLT-2026-05 / v0.2

Separate structurally safe configurations from adaptive-controller convergence. The paper studies oscillation, robust switching margins, conflict-free parallel changes and recovery rendezvous under explicit assumptions.

01
The question

What is this paper trying to establish?

When do independently adaptive quorum controllers converge instead of oscillating or conflicting?

02
The contribution

The central idea.

Separate structurally safe configurations from adaptive-controller convergence. The paper studies oscillation, robust switching margins, conflict-free parallel changes and recovery rendezvous under explicit assumptions.

Current status

Convergence conditions and synthetic controller experiments. Structural safety, controller convergence, and complete consensus correctness remain separate obligations.

This report develops a conditional method and evaluates it within the stated evidence. It does not establish production performance, operational safety, or calibrated real-world predictive skill beyond that evidence.

03
Why it matters

What changes if the method holds?

A set of safe configurations is not enough: controllers can still thrash between them. The paper isolates the additional assumptions needed for stable adaptation.

04
Independent review

Where scrutiny should concentrate.

The paper identifies the following points as the highest-value targets for independent review.

  1. 01
    Bounded telemetry error and near-potential certificates.
  2. 02
    Conservative conflict graph and commuting activations.
  3. 03
    Stabilized environment and shared recovery-scenario detection.
