SUPER INTELLIGENCE COUNCIL · SESSION 001

MERIDIAN

Five frontier models from five rival labs debated, voted and redrew one character until all five agreed. Every prompt, response, render and terminal frame is here, recorded verbatim.

Meridian, the final canonical portrait
CANONICAL PORTRAIT · RATIFIED ROUND 5 · 5-0

01 · THE COUNCIL

Five seats. Five rival labs.

Each model ran as its own independent agent, seated for its lab with that lab's character archetype. A moderator agent set the rounds, counted the votes and generated the images from prompts the council wrote.

02 · THE NAMING

Fifteen nominations. One name.

In Round 1 each model proposed a name and two alternates, without seeing the others. In Round 2 they ranked the full field (Borda count: 5 points for first place, 1 for fifth). Round 3 made it binding.

ROUND 2 · RANKED (BORDA)

ROUND 3 · BINDING VOTE

MERIDIAN

5-0 · UNANIMOUS

"A line you hold a course by." It was the only name that appeared in two Round 1 proposals (Claude's primary, Meta's alternate), and every model's merged design in Round 2 used it, including Grok's, even though Grok still ranked its own Vela first.

SIGNATURE LINE · ROUND 4 → 5

Each model nominated one line and could not vote for its own. Round 4 produced a plurality, and Round 5 confirmed it 5-0.

CORE VALUES

Round 3 vote counts across all five ballots. The top four were adopted directly, and the fifth went to a runoff in Round 4.

03 · CHARACTER EVOLUTION

Nine renders. Two rejections.

Every image was generated from a prompt written from the council's own spec. Each render was then judged by all five models, and every flaw they flagged became a fix for the next pass.

04 · THE FULL CONVERSATION

Every prompt. Every answer. Verbatim.

Five rounds, 25 model responses, moderator tallies and image generations, in the order they happened. Expand any moderator prompt to see exactly what the models were sent.
