Overview

TripartiteDeliberation - Pathos/Logos/Ethos 3-agent deliberation

Implements the classical rhetorical framework for argumentation through three fundamental modes of persuasion.

The tripartite framework originates from Aristotle’s Rhetoric and provides a comprehensive approach to argumentation:

  • Pathos: Appeals to emotion, intent, and human experience

  • Logos: Appeals to logic, reason, and rational argument

  • Ethos: Appeals to ethics, credibility, and moral character

Examples:

deliberation = SuperInstance::Equipment::ConsensusEngine::TripartiteDeliberation.new

pathos_analysis = deliberation.analyze(
  :pathos,
  'Should we reduce work hours?',
  'A company is considering a 4-day work week'
)
