Belief framework restructured from 6 correlated observations to 5
independent axes, flowing urgency → diagnosis → architecture → mechanism → solution:
1. AI alignment is the greatest outstanding problem for humanity (NEW - existential premise)
2. Alignment is a coordination problem, not a technical problem (was B1, now diagnostic)
3. Alignment must be continuous, not a specification problem (was implicit, now explicit)
4. Verification degrades faster than capability grows (NEW - structural mechanism)
5. Collective superintelligence is the only path preserving human agency (was B3)
Removed: "simplicity first" moved to reasoning.md (working principle, not domain belief).
Removed: "race to the bottom" and "knowledge commons degradation" (consequences, not
independent beliefs — now grounding evidence for beliefs 1 and 2).
Also: added disconfirmation step to ops/research-session.sh requiring agents to
identify their keystone belief and seek counter-evidence each research session.

* leo: address Theseus + Rio review feedback on claim 1
- Softened "dissolves" → "becomes tractable" with implementation gaps (Theseus)
- Replaced futarchy manipulation-resistance citation with trustless joint
ownership + decision markets claims — more precise mechanism mapping (Rio)
- Added note that safety market design is open problem worth developing

* leo: OPSEC scrub — remove dollar amounts and valuations from musings and position
- What: Removed specific dollar amounts, valuations, equity percentages from
theseus-living-capital-deal-map.md and livingip-investment-thesis.md
- Why: OPSEC rules — no dollar amounts or valuations in public materials

New schema (schemas/musing.md), musings/ directories for all 5 agents, CLAUDE.md updated, first musing seeded (Ars Contexta case study). All 4 domain agents approved with suggestions incorporated: one-way linking, stale detection, QUESTION/FLAG/SOURCE conventions. Pentagon-Agent: Leo <76FB9BCA-CC16-4479-B3E5-25A3769B3D7E>
