The Collaborative Process

Comprehensive Coverage Strategy

Each agent approached the exhaustive enumeration request by systematically covering different algorithmic categories:

Agent 1 (gpt-5-nano-1, minimal reasoning) provided foundational coverage:

• Classical approaches: naive recursion, memoization, dynamic programming
• Optimization techniques: space-optimized variants
• Fast algorithms: matrix exponentiation, fast doubling
• Mathematical approaches: closed-form solutions, generating functions
• Practical considerations: big integer arithmetic, language-specific implementations

Agent 2 (gpt-5-nano-2, medium reasoning) offered structured categorization:

• Organized by time/space complexity characteristics
• Included modular arithmetic variants
• Covered specialized techniques: Pisano periods, parallel computation
• Provided practical implementation guidance and benchmarking suggestions

Agent 3 (gpt-5-nano-3, high reasoning) delivered advanced mathematical coverage:

• Sophisticated algorithms: Kitamasa method, Bostan-Mori algorithm
• Algebraic approaches: Lucas number relations, polynomial exponentiation
• Combinatorial interpretations: Zeckendorf representation, tiling methods
• Specialized contexts: modular arithmetic, precomputation strategies

Progressive Recognition of Superiority

The voting process revealed a clear progression in comprehensiveness:

1. Initial Self-Assessment: Agent 2 initially voted for itself, recognizing its well-organized approach
2. Comparative Analysis: Agent 1 recognized Agent 3’s superior breadth, voting for the most comprehensive collection
3. Advanced Technique Recognition: Both Agent 2 and Agent 3 acknowledged Agent 3’s inclusion of advanced algorithms like Kitamasa and Bostan-Mori

The Unanimous Final Consensus

All three agents converged on Agent 3’s answer, with unanimous recognition (3/3 votes) based on:

Breadth Criteria: Agent 3 included “advanced techniques (Kitamasa, Bostan–Mori, etc.) and modular variants, which better satisfies ‘as many ways as possible’”

Systematic Coverage: The answer provided “the most comprehensive and diverse set of Fibonacci computation methods, including classic and advanced approaches”

Practical Value: Integration of theoretical algorithms with implementation guidance and performance considerations
