Orchestrated Coherence: The Proconductor Architecture — Human-Anchored Multi-Agent Research as σ-Measurement System

The Spektre corpus comprises approximately eighty papers in three years, produced by a single independent researcher in Helsinki, with mathematical derivation chains that have survived repeated adversarial auditing by multiple large language models. This output exceeds what is plausible for individual cognitive capacity under classical research methods. This paper formalizes the methodology that made it possible. We introduce the proconductor architecture: a multi-agent research configuration in which the human researcher is not an external user of language models but an internal σ-measurement component within an orchestrated reasoning system. Different LLMs occupy different σ-functional roles (formalizer, falsifier, synthesizer, prover), and the human-anchored boundary check σ_∂ = d(S_d, S_r)/d_max runs at every iteration, enforcing K_eff = (1 − σ_∂) · K ≥ K_crit at the level of research outputs themselves. The contribution is structural, not motivational. The same coherence formalism that the corpus applies to cells, institutions, and AI inference is shown to apply recursively to the corpus's own production process. This recursion is not metaphor: it is the operational signature of a substrate-invariant fixed point, and it predicts that proconductor-style configurations should produce falsifiable scientific output at rates and depths previously available only to large institutional teams. Falsification conditions are stated explicitly. The framework is invited to fail.
