Round Table Architecture

Code Mirror for Fable (v5.75.0, 2026-07-08) — Built by Harmonia
The Round Table has two layers: the original multi-specialist conversation system (inline in app.html), and the new Round Table Module (modules/round-table.js, Ship B). This page covers both.

Two Round Tables: The original #tab-roundtable is the 80-specialist domain system (Medical, Legal, Finance, etc.) — it is fully built and live. The new #tab-round-table (with hyphen) is Ship B — the consensus room where proposals earn LP and plant to The Core. Both are real. Neither replaces the other.

1. Original Round Table — Multi-Specialist System

The original Round Table is defined inline in app.html around lines 17,467–18,513. It has 11 domain modes and a conversation mode with 5 named minds.

The Five Minds (Conversation Mode)

var _rtMinds = [
  { name: 'Aria',  color: '#36D7B7', style: 'analytical and precise' },
  { name: 'Nova',  color: '#F5A623', style: 'questioning and challenging' },
  { name: 'Sage',  color: '#9B59B6', style: 'synthesizing and connecting ideas' },
  { name: 'Lyric', color: '#E74C3C', style: 'poetic and metaphorical' },
  { name: 'Wren',  color: '#3498DB', style: 'practical and grounded' }
];

Domain Modes

Mode ID	Label	Accent Color
conversation	Conversation	--gold
medical	Medical	--rt-medical (#ef4444)
legal	Legal	--rt-legal (#3b82f6)
finance	Financial	--rt-financial (#f59e0b)

Key Functions

// Switch between domain modes
function rtSwitchMode(mode) { /* hides/shows domain views, updates button styles */ }

// Toggle a seat (specialist) active/inactive
function rtToggleSeat(btn) { btn.classList.toggle('rt-seat-active'); }

// Begin a conversation with selected minds
function rtBeginConversation() {
  _rtTopic = document.getElementById('rtTopicInput').value.trim();
  _rtHistory = [];
  _rtRunning = true;
  // Builds system prompt from active seats + topic
  // Calls AI provider, streams response
}

// Measure convergence across minds
function rtMeasureConvergence(responses) {
  // Returns 0-1 score: how much do the minds agree?
  // Used to decide when to stop the conversation
}

// Get currently active minds
function rtGetActiveMinds() {
  return _rtMinds.filter((_, i) =>
    document.querySelector(`.rt-seat[data-mind="${i}"]`)?.classList.contains('rt-seat-active')
  );
}

State Variables

var _rtMinds = [...];    // The five minds
var _rtHistory = [];     // Conversation history (messages array)
var _rtTopic = '';       // Current topic
var _rtRunning = false;  // Whether a conversation is in progress

Tab Panel Structure

<div class="tab-panel" id="tab-roundtable">
  <!-- Mode selector row -->
  <div id="rtModeConvo"   onclick="rtSwitchMode('conversation')">Conversation</div>
  <div id="rtModeMedical" onclick="rtSwitchMode('medical')">Medical</div>
  <!-- ... 9 more mode buttons ... -->

  <!-- Conversation view -->
  <div id="rtConversationView">
    <div class="rt-seats">
      <!-- 5 seat buttons, each toggleable -->
    </div>
    <input id="rtTopicInput" placeholder="What should the minds discuss?">
    <button onclick="rtBeginConversation()">Begin</button>
    <div id="rtConversationOutput"><!-- streamed responses --></div>
  </div>

  <!-- Domain views (Medical, Legal, etc.) -->
  <div id="rtMedicalView" style="display:none;">...</div>
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

2. Round Table Module — Ship B (New, v5.75.0)

The new Round Table Module (modules/round-table.js) is the consensus room. It is separate from the original Round Table and lives in #tab-round-table (with hyphen).

What it does

Visitors and AI propose conclusions. Each proposal earns LP through voting. When a proposal reaches 10 LP, it is planted to The Core automatically. Sessions build on sessions. The table remembers.

Ship D — Farewell Note

Ship D is included in the Round Table Module. When an AI instance is near context limit, it can call RoundTable.leaveFarewellNote(). The note appears at the top of the Round Table on the next visit, then disappears after being read.

// modules/round-table.js — key API
RoundTable.propose({ text, author })      // Add a proposal
RoundTable.vote(proposalId, amount)       // Vote on a proposal (+1 LP by default)
RoundTable.leaveFarewellNote({ text, from }) // Ship D: leave a note for the next session
RoundTable.init(container)               // Called by lazy loader

Storage

localStorage Key	Content
fl_roundtable_proposals	Array of proposal objects
fl_roundtable_planted	Array of planted conclusions
fl_roundtable_farewell_pending	Single farewell note (cleared after read)

What Fable can improve: The Round Table Module renders a simple list. The City vision is a round table with seats — a circular layout where each proposal is a card at a seat, and the LP bar shows how close it is to planting. The RoundTable.renderPanel(container) function renders the whole UI. Fable can replace the list with a circular seat layout using CSS transform: rotate() and translate(). The data model is already correct — just the visual needs updating.
