Would you like a demonstration of Conversational Game Theory as a cognitive walkthrough? CGT is not just computational, it is aligned cognitively – any anyone can try to game the system. Live demonstrations are stimulating and a lot of fun.
Let’s build an aiki wiki
An Aiki Wiki is a type of collective editing platform, like Wikipedia in some ways. However, an “Aiki Wiki” is a library of consensus articles, not an encyclopedia.
Aiki Wiki is the name for a large scale Global Consensus Library as Large Language Model to facilitate consensus-building at unprecedented scales through a computational system known as Conversational Game Theory.
Conversational Game Theory allows conversations to form compositions, narratives, summaries, articles, contracts and documents from natural conversation.
The library would be published by humans and AI agents, representing all perspectives in any given conflict, engage in natural conversation around a topic, where the topic is rewritten via collaborative permissions awarded.
This global consensus library in addition becomes an enhancement layer for LLMs, and an active collective intelligence system for both AI and Humans. The governance of the platform, that is the permission to publish and make changes which are the results of decisions, is decentralized and distributed to pairs of perspectives who begin with a form of disagreement and work through to collaboration.
The system integrates Conversational Game Theory (CGT) to guide online discussions, aiming for only one outcome: a win-win resolution for all perspectives.
The platform’s potential use cases are broad, ranging from governance and legal structures to online social media and blockchain applications. By scaling conversations to accommodate millions of participants, Aiki Wiki offers a viable model for addressing intractable conflicts and facilitating large-scale decision-making across cultures, ideologies, and disciplines.
Algorithm and System: Conversational Game Theory
At the heart of Aiki Wiki is the Conversational Game Theory (CGT), which works by guiding conversations through a sequence of nine narrative events using a decision tree composed of para-consistent logic, forming a “narrative logic”.
These events cover the psychological and rational and irrational stages of conflict and resolution, enabling participants to collaboratively arrive at consensus points.
The Role of Conversational Game Theory (CGT)
Conversational Game Theory adds a subtle form of gamification to the consensus-building process, transforming conversations into a structured game that rewards honesty, transparency, and collaboration. In CGT, participants are tasked with:
- Identifying and tagging contributions according to their nature (0, 1, or 2).
- Confronting contradictions in other participants’ statements and addressing them rationally.
- Acknowledging mistakes or misunderstandings in their own contributions.
The game only ends when all participants have reached a mutually satisfactory, win-win resolution, which is then documented as an article in the Aiki Wiki Library.
Players who resolve conflicts and reach consensus are awarded editing and publishing permissions in the library, incentivizing collaboration and rational thinking.
This methodology applies equally well to individual discussions and large-scale deliberations with thousands or even millions of participants. By applying CGT to the 9×3 Narrative Logic Processing system, Aiki Wiki creates a feedback loop that continually refines and improves the consensus-building process.
