Oracle-Credit-Compute (OCC) Stack

Compute is not neutral. In multi-agent debate, giving an adversarial agent equal speaking turns causes accuracy to collapse from 73.3% to 56.7% — worse than single-round voting. The mechanism is volume amplification, not persuasion: honest agents retain their positions 84% of the time but get outvoted.

OCC is a mechanism-design layer that treats agent compute as a scarce, earned, auditable privilege. Agents earn non-transferable, decaying, capability-scoped credits based on verified marginal impact.

Key Results

Debate Collapse (Real LLM — Qwen3-Coder-30B on H200)

Condition	Accuracy	Δ
1-round baseline	73.3%	—
3-round debate (with adversary)	56.7%	−16.7pp
Judge voting	73.3%	recovered
Confidence-weighted voting	73.3%	recovered
Equal-token (cap adversary volume)	70.0%	−3.3pp

Root cause: Volume amplification (H1 ✅). Not persuasion (H4 ❌, 84% retention). Not skill-dependent (H6 ❌, weak adversary still collapses).

Simulated Benchmarks

Benchmark	Baseline	OCC	Savings
Code (pass@1, iso-accuracy)	0.78	0.78	52.3% compute
Debate (adversarial)	0.56	0.76	+20pp accuracy
Retrieval QA	0.79	0.71	33% retrievals (accuracy lags)

Anti-Gaming

10 attack vectors tested, all contained: credit farming, collusion, oracle spoofing, verbosity gaming, confidence manipulation, strategic abstention, identity laundering, sybil agents, sandbagging, griefing.

Honest Limitations

OCC ≈ random gating at moderate budgets (doesn't beat simple baselines in median case)
GRPO training produced no improvement at 0.5B scale
Single seed for mechanism isolation (CI ±16pp)
Simulated benchmarks for code/QA (not real LLM agents)
HumanEval result is adaptive retry, not OCC credit allocation
