LLM-BASED MULTI-AGENT COLLABORATION
Mitigating Error Cascades and False Consensus in LLM-MAS
Large Language Model-based Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS) are increasingly applied to complex collaborative scenarios. However, their collaborative mechanisms may cause minor inaccuracies to gradually solidify into system-level false consensus through iteration. This paper proposes a propagation dynamics model tailored for LLM-MAS that abstracts collaboration as a directed dependency graph and provides an early-stage risk criterion to characterize amplification risk. It also introduces a genealogy-graph-based governance layer to suppress error amplification.

Defense Efficacy of Genealogy-Based Layer
Suppression of Error Amplification
The Genealogy-Based Governance Layer significantly raises the defense success rate from a baseline of 0.32 to over 0.89, effectively mitigating the cascading spread of minor errors. This is achieved by tracking information flow, identifying unverified claims, and selectively intervening to prevent false consensus. The system uses a tri-state screening mechanism (Green, Red, Yellow) and strategic verification to control propagation without altering the core collaboration architecture.
- Defense success rate increased from 32% to 89%.
- Mitigates both endogenous and exogenous error amplification.
- Preserves valid information flow while ensuring safety.
