Interloom.

See what happens next.

Specialized AI agents reason across interconnected systems and expose the cascading consequences of a single event or policy decision — turned into an inspectable graph rather than an opaque answer.

Research Question

Can specialized AI agents reveal what one model or one analyst cannot hold at once?

Every consequential decision — a drought forecast, a policy shift, a supply shock — travels through interconnected systems that no single expert can hold in full view. Interloom asks whether a chorus of bounded, specialized agents can make those cross-domain consequences legible, inspectable, and open to challenge.

Working Hypothesis

Structured handoffs beat undifferentiated answers.

Structured causal handoffs between bounded domain agents will produce more legible and inspectable system-level reasoning than an undifferentiated assistant response. Each agent commits to a typed claim; each claim can be inspected, disputed, or discarded by a human reviewer.

The interface should expose the seams between agents, not hide them behind a single confident voice.

System Architecture

Scenario intake → domain agents → typed consequence claims → critique → cascade graph → synthesis.

The proposed architecture routes a scenario through six named stages. Evidence, provenance, uncertainty, dissent, audit, and human review cut across every layer — no stage operates without them.

FIG 03.1Pipeline of reasoning
  1. Stage 01
    Scenario intake
    A single event, decision, or policy is framed as a structured input with scope and constraints.
  2. Stage 02
    Domain agents
    Bounded specialists reason inside their own remit — water, agriculture, biodiversity, and so on.
  3. Stage 03
    Typed consequence claims
    Each agent emits claims in a shared schema: statement, evidence, uncertainty, and dependencies.
  4. Stage 04
    Critique & reconciliation
    Peer agents challenge, refine, or reject claims; dissent is recorded, never silently resolved.
  5. Stage 05
    Cascade graph
    Surviving claims compose into an inspectable directed graph of cross-domain consequences.
  6. Stage 06
    Decision synthesis
    A human reviewer reads the graph, weighs uncertainty, and produces the actionable synthesis.
FIG 03.2Cross-cutting concerns
Evidence

Every claim points back to the sources or reasoning that produced it.

Provenance

Which agent authored what, when, and under which prompt version.

Uncertainty

Confidence is a first-class field, not a stylistic hedge.

Dissent

Peer critiques persist alongside accepted claims for review.

Audit

The full reasoning trace can be replayed and inspected after the fact.

Human review

No consequence graph is treated as final without an accountable human reader.

Flagship Experiment

Severe drought · tracing 20% less rainfall through six domains.

The public prototype's flagship scenario traces the cascading effect of a sustained 20% reduction in rainfall. Six domain agents — water, agriculture, biodiversity, economy, public health, and infrastructure — inherit each other's conclusions and record where their reasoning aligns, diverges, or depends on assumptions the next agent would challenge.

FIG 04.1Six domains in cascade
Domain 01 · Water

Reservoirs, aquifers, and municipal supply under sustained 20% rainfall deficit.

Domain 02 · Agriculture

Crop yields, planting decisions, and livestock stress under revised water budgets.

Domain 03 · Biodiversity

Riparian ecosystems, migratory patterns, and species stress inherited from the water and agriculture layers.

Domain 04 · Economy

Commodity prices, employment, and regional GDP effects reasoned from upstream constraints.

Domain 05 · Public health

Heat exposure, air quality, and food-system stress traced from environmental and economic conditions.

Domain 06 · Infrastructure

Grid load, cooling demand, transport, and water-treatment capacity under compounded pressure.

    Concept framing
    Framed Interloom as a research question about legibility: whether cross-domain consequences become more usable when specialized agents commit to typed, inspectable claims rather than producing a single narrative answer.

    Legible interface prototype
    Built the first end-to-end interface around the severe-drought scenario. The public experience uses curated scenario traces for reliability and legibility, while the technical paper documents the evidence-grounded dynamic architecture that the next iteration will implement.

    Public research release
    Published the live prototype, the technical paper, and the public repository. Interloom is released as a research prototype so that its architecture, limitations, and next experiments are open to external scrutiny from day one.

Uncertainty & Limitations

What Interloom is not.

Interloom is decision support, not a deterministic forecast. It is not an emergency alert system, a policy authority, medical advice, or a substitute for expert judgment. Every claim is a hypothesis the human reviewer is expected to interrogate. Where the current prototype uses curated traces, that limitation is stated in the interface itself.

Next Experiments

What the paper commits to next.

  • Evidence
    Evidence registry & citations

    A retrievable evidence store so every claim links to inspectable sources.

  • Protocol
    Typed claim bus

    A shared schema for claims, dependencies, and uncertainty passed between agents.

  • Dialectic
    Agent critique & dissent

    Structured disagreement between agents preserved alongside accepted conclusions.

  • Calibration
    Confidence calibration

    Measuring whether stated confidence tracks empirical accuracy across scenarios.

  • Benchmarks
    Expert benchmark scenarios

    Curated scenarios reviewed by domain experts to score system-level reasoning.

  • Transfer
    Policy, healthcare, supply chains, biology

    Porting the architecture into further high-stakes interconnected domains.
