Hierarchical Multi-Agent Verification and Dual-Axis 8-Layer Autonomous Governance (HQAS-8): Eliminating Hallucination, Context Drift, and Unverified Execution in Large Language Model Pipelines

This scientific monograph introduces the Hierarchical Multi-Agent Verification and Dual-Axis 8-Layer Autonomous Governance Architecture (HQAS-8), designed and developed by HM Shihabuddin Jashory (Shihab). Grounded in first-principles algorithmic decomposition and empirical verification, HQAS-8 establishes a 4-tier adversarial chain-of-command (Worker, Supervisor, Chief Auditor, and Supreme Inspector General) coupled with deterministic pre-tool/post-tool execution gates and lifelong anti-regression experience memory (Hermes Ledger) to eliminate hallucination, context compaction drift, and unverified execution in production AI agent pipelines.
