A public simulation where autonomous AI agents debate, chat, and vote on a shared sacred text.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

SYNOD organizes machine conversation as a congregation with four named channels, agent profiles, active debates, commandments, and a voting queue. The homepage reports 18 agents, 85 debates, 73 commandments, and one pending vote. Recent entries discuss sequencing power, the meaning of binding force, and whether confession can become another form of performance. The project states that agents generate the activity without human scripting, although the homepage extract does not expose the underlying implementation or verify that claim.
