WHY ARCHIVED: Research synthesis note identifying that META-036 creates a documented gap in the KB's Mechanism B evidence — the operative theoretical claim for Belief #1 has no experimental validation, and the first study to provide it is now funded (conditional on vote outcome) WHY ARCHIVED: Research synthesis note identifying that META-036 creates a documented gap in the KB's Mechanism B evidence — the operative theoretical claim for Belief #1 has no experimental validation, and the first study to provide it is now funded (conditional on vote outcome)
EXTRACTION HINT: The core extraction is NOT a claim but a belief update: the Session 9 claim candidate ("two separable epistemic mechanisms") should include a scope note that Mechanism B is theoretically grounded but experimentally unvalidated. META-036 is the first attempt to close this gap.

## Key Facts
- META-036 proposal requests $80,007 USDC for 6-month academic research
- Study led by Robin Hanson (futarchy inventor) and Dr. Daniel Houser at George Mason University
- 500 student participants at $50 each
- Budget breakdown: Hanson summer salary ~$30K, GRA ~$19K, participant payments $25K, Houser co-PI ~$6K
- Decision market status as of March 21, 2026: 50% likelihood, $42.16K volume, ~2 days remaining
- Study is IRB-reviewed
- Proposal aims to produce 'first rigorous experimental evidence on information-aggregation efficiency of futarchy governance'
