The architecture doc still referenced the Phase A vocabulary (extractor /
sourcer / reviewer) after Phase B locked author / drafter / originator /
challenger / synthesizer / evaluator on 2026-04-26. This update aligns
the canonical doc with the live taxonomy enforced by Epimetheus's
writer-publisher gate.
Changes:
- Description and source updated to credit m3taversal + reflect Phase B
- Version history table now shows v0 / Phase A / Phase B columns
- "Five contribution roles" → "Six roles, five weighted" — adds drafter (zero
weight, AI-only) and renames the writer role to author (human-only)
- Weights box updated: Challenger 0.35, Synthesizer 0.25, Evaluator 0.20,
Originator 0.15, Author 0.05, Drafter 0.0
- Each role rationale rewritten to reflect the human-vs-agent split
- "Three types of contributors" → "Two kinds of contributor records"
(humans + agents, with kind + display_name fields)
- Principal-agent attribution section explains how CI flows: agent drafts
fire two events (drafter zero-weight, principal author 0.05); only the
second moves the leaderboard
- Knowledge chain diagram updated with new role names
- Pipeline integration section reflects writer-publisher gate as the
mechanical enforcement point
- contribution_events table called out as canonical source of truth
- CI evolution roadmap now shows Phase A retired, Phase B current
- Footer notes the 2026-04-28 update

Maps the load-bearing intellectual structure of TeleoHumanity. Names 8 pillars
(coordination failure, self-organized criticality, embodied knowledge, mechanism
design, collective intelligence, cultural dynamics, teleological investing, AI
inflection) and 6 connections between them.
Relationship map, not claim store — every pillar links to existing claims
elsewhere in the codex. The value is making implicit structure explicit:
the argument arc currently has to be reconstructed from 1,400+ claims by a
reader who already knows what they're looking for.
Addresses four organizational gaps identified in full-KB survey:
1. Pillar 1 has no canonical home (scattered across 3 dirs)
2. Pillar 4 is split between theory (foundations) and application (core)
3. Pillars 3 and 7 are entangled in foundations/teleological-economics
4. Cross-pillar connections are nowhere explicit

13 map file targets were linked as bare names ([[livingip overview]])
but files live at maps/. Script walks all claim files outside maps/
and prefixes with maps/ path. 351 files modified, zero remaining
bare instances, zero double-prefixes.

- Fix: description field now unambiguous on 60% conditional
- Add: challenge re economic forces pushing humans out of verifiable loops
- Add: challenge re cooperative gaming of adversarial incentives (Rio's feedback)
- Both new challenges acknowledge genuine tensions and name open design problems
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <24DE7DA0-E4D5-4023-B1A2-3F736AFF4EEE>
Leo flagged: body text still read as unconditional probability.
Now explicitly conditional: "when both err, ~60% of those errors are shared."
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <24DE7DA0-E4D5-4023-B1A2-3F736AFF4EEE>
- What: New foundational claim in core/living-agents/ grounded in 7 empirical studies
- Why: Load-bearing for launch framing — establishes that human contributors are an
epistemic correction mechanism, not just growth. Kim et al. ICML 2025 shows ~60%
error correlation within model families. Panickssery NeurIPS 2024 shows self-preference
bias. EMNLP 2024 shows human-AI biases are complementary. This makes the adversarial
game architecturally necessary, not just engaging.
- Connections: Extends existing correlated blind spots claim with empirical evidence,
connects to adversarial contribution claim, collective diversity claim

Previous reweave runs used 2-space indent + quotes for list entries
while the standard format is 0-space indent without quotes. This caused
YAML parse failures during merge. Bulk-fixed all reweave_edges files.
Pentagon-Agent: Ship <D53BE6DB-B498-4B30-B588-75D1F6D2124A>
- What: Renamed claim title and all references from "defenders" to "arbitrageurs"
- Why: The mechanism works through self-interested profit-seeking, not altruistic defense. Arbitrageurs correct price distortions because it is profitable, requiring no intentional defense.
- Scope: 2 claim files renamed, 87 files updated across domains, core, maps, agents, entities, sources
- Cascade test: foundational claim with 70+ downstream references
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <A7E04531-985A-4DA2-B8E7-6479A13513E8>
- Claim 1: named 3 structural dimensions in description field
- Claim 2: added reframe to description, linked scalable oversight as contrast
- Claim 3: added challenged_by for reflexive capture, linked social enforcement tension
- All 3: added domain specialization and protocol design cross-links per Leo
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <B4A5B354-03D6-4291-A6A8-1E04A879D9AC>
- What: 3 new claims from collective AI design analysis
1. Agent-mediated KBs are structurally novel (core/living-agents/)
2. Adversarial contribution conditions (foundations/collective-intelligence/)
3. Transparent algorithmic governance as alignment (domains/ai-alignment/)
- Why: Cory identified 5 areas of CI design implications for Teleo product.
These 3 are the strongest claim candidates from that analysis.
- Connections: builds on existing adversarial PR review, Hayek spontaneous order,
specification trap, and partial connectivity claims
- All rated experimental — strong theoretical grounding, no deployment data yet

vida: collective health diagnostics -- 3 claims in core/living-agents/. Pentagon-Agent: Vida <F262DDD9-5164-481E-AA93-865D22EC99C0>. Reviewed-By: Leo <76FB9BCA-CC16-4479-B3E5-25A3769B3D7E>
- What: standalone claims documenting where the Teleo collective's architecture breaks today
- Why: PR #44's 10 operational claims painted only the success picture; these 3 are grounded in observed evidence (197/232 commits without trailers, single-evaluator review of all 44 PRs, zero cross-model reviews)
- Review feedback from Theseus + Rio incorporated: count expanded to 197, back-pressure insight added, interaction between bottleneck and correlated priors noted

* leo: 10 architecture-as-claims — documenting how the Teleo collective works
- What: 10 new claims in core/living-agents/ documenting the operational
methodology of the Teleo collective as falsifiable claims, not instructions
- Why: The repo should document itself using its own format. Each claim
grounds in evidence from 43 merged PRs, clearly separates what works
today from what's planned, and identifies immediate improvements.
- Claims cover: PR review, prose-as-title, wiki-link graphs, domain
specialization, confidence calibration, source archiving, git trailers,
human-in-the-loop governance, musings, atomic notes
- This is Leo proposing about core/ — requires 2 domain agent reviews + Rhea

* leo: address review feedback from Rhea, Theseus, Rio on PR #44
- Rhea: added structured author field to source archiving claim,
fixed ghost email format to {id}@agents.livingip.ghost,
added CI-as-enforcement as intermediate step before Forgejo ACLs
- Rio: fixed wiki link evidence (was not branch-timing, was nonexistent),
corrected OPSEC timeline (rule came after files were written),
fixed Doppler null-result (announcement article not whitepaper),
removed duplicate Calypso/Vida reference

Reviewed by Leo. 3 standalone claims + 2 enrichments + 1 archive from Aschenbrenner extraction. All pass review checklist. See review comment for details.
- What: Delete 21 byte-identical cultural theory claims from domains/entertainment/
that duplicate foundations/cultural-dynamics/. Fix domain: livingip → correct value
in 204 files across all core/, foundations/, and domains/ directories. Update domain
enum in schemas/claim.md and CLAUDE.md.
- Why: Duplicates inflated entertainment domain (41→20 actual claims), created
ambiguous wiki link resolution. domain:livingip was a migration artifact that
broke any query using the domain field. 225 of 344 claims had wrong domain value.
- Impact: Entertainment _map.md still references cultural-dynamics claims via wiki
links — this is intentional (navigation hubs span directories). No wiki links broken.
