Abstract: Effective decision-making in complex systems requires synthesizing diverse perspectives to address multifaceted challenges under uncertainty. This study introduces an agentic Large Language Models (LLMs) framework for simulating decision discourse – the deliberative process through which actionable strategies are collaboratively developed. Unlike traditional decision-support tools, this framework simulates diverse stakeholder personas, each bringing unique priorities, expertise and value-driven reasoning to a dialogue that emphasizes trade-off exploration in a self-governed assembly. We present explorative results fostering robust and equitable recommendations, with two use cases: first, our framework simulates a response to the floods that occurred on July 2025 in Texas; second, a hypothetical extreme flooding in a Midwestern township under varying forecasting uncertainty. Recommendations made balance competing priorities considered through social, economic and environmental dimensions, setting a foundation for scalable and context-aware recommendations and transforming how decisions for real-world high-stake scenarios can be approached in digital environments. This research explores novel and alternate routes leveraging agentic LLMs for adaptive, collaborative, and equitable recommendations, with implications across domains where uncertainty and complexity converge.
Dissociable contributions of cortical thickness and surface area to cognitive ageing: evidence from multiple longitudinal cohorts.
Cortical volume, a widely-used marker of brain ageing, is the product of two genetically and developmentally dissociable morphometric features: thickness and area. However, it remains
