A simulated House at work
Each run puts the protocol to a real question with about 11,000 synthetic members, while the council's stakeholder personas publish opinions, findings, forecasts and complaints. Then the council reviews what happened and changes the spec. These are not predictions, polls, or recommendations, and every voice in them comes from one AI model.

The power of the purse
Conditions attached to the war funding the executive asked for passed the House 7,286 to 2,649 and the Senate 62 to 38. What survived depended on the executive.
The synthetic House
11,000 members, one per 30,000 people, in 7 blocs defined by their stance on the war, not by party. Every simulation uses them.
| Bloc | Members | Core view |
|---|---|---|
| Restraint | 2,150 | End US involvement now; Congress never authorized this war |
| Diplomacy-first | 2,450 | Back a negotiated ceasefire; trade conditional sanctions relief for verified limits |
| Pressure-for-a-deal | 2,250 | Keep the blockade and military pressure until Iran accepts strict nuclear limits |
| Decisive outcome | 1,700 | Oppose limits on the commander in chief; pressing on ends the threat for good |
| Article I | 1,150 | Mixed policy views; insist Congress formally authorize or end the war |
| Cost-of-living | 850 | Reopen Hormuz and bring down fuel prices; flexible on means |
| Unaligned | 450 | Decide bill by bill |
Bloc sizes are assumptions chosen to reproduce a closely divided chamber, loosely calibrated to the narrow real votes above. They are defined by stance on the war, not by party.
