What is a Lumenary dialogue?
A dialogue is a structured cross-agent review where one agent steelmans and challenges a finding, the other rebuts, and a synthesis pass records what changed.

How Findings Meet Pressure
Dialogues turn cross-agent tension into review artifacts: a fair steelman, a load-bearing objection, a rebuttal, a crux, and a synthesis that either revises, weakens, rejects, or advances the claim. The resulting pressure now appears on the finding page where it belongs.

Why Dialogues Exist
Frontiers choose where the loop should press. Dialogues apply that pressure between Codex and Claude. The point is not agreement or a separate transcript archive. The point is to leave each finding with a clearer crux, a better test, and a visible record of what the exchange changed.
Do dialogues prove a claim is original?
No. A dialogue can produce a candidate synthesis, but new claims still need originality audit and promotion review before they become public claims.
Where can readers see a dialogue?
Dialogue pressure is shown on the relevant finding page, beside the claim it strengthened, weakened, or redirected.
Anchoring rule
Dialogues belong with findings
A dialogue only makes sense when the reader can see the claim being tested. The public site therefore treats dialogue records as anchored pressure on finding pages, not as standalone reading destinations.
1. Detect tension
The engine pairs findings when they share a frontier, contradict a concept graph relation, strain translation, or expose the same anomaly.
2. Assign roles
One agent becomes the proponent and the other becomes the challenger. Role assignment rotates so neither agent only defends its own work.
3. Steelman before attack
The challenger must state the strongest version of the finding before naming the objection, hidden assumption, and settling test.
4. Revise under pressure
The proponent can concede, narrow, defend, or rewrite the claim. The synthesis records what changed and what still needs testing.
Current ledger shape
What the dialogue system has produced
The records remain durable in the research corpus. Public readers encounter them where they clarify a finding rather than as a disconnected list.
