- What: 3 claims on coordination governance empirics (binding regulation as
only mechanism that works, transparency declining, compute export controls
as misaligned governance) + UK AISI entity + comprehensive source archive
- Why: targeted research on weakest grounding of B2 ("alignment is coordination
problem"). Found that voluntary coordination has empirically failed across
every mechanism tested (2023-2026). Only binding regulation with enforcement
changes behavior. This challenges the optimistic version of B2 and
strengthens the case for enforcement-backed coordination.
- Connections: confirms voluntary-safety-pledge claim with extensive new
evidence, strengthens nation-state-control claim, challenges alignment-tax
claim by showing the tax is being cut not paid

- What: first ai-alignment entities (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI,
SSI, Thinking Machines Lab, Dario Amodei) + 3 claims on industry dynamics
(RSP rollback as empirical confirmation, talent circulation as alignment
culture transfer, capital concentration as oligopoly constraint on governance)
- Why: industry landscape research synthesizing 33 web sources. Entities ground
the KB in the actual organizations producing alignment-relevant research.
Claims extract structural alignment implications from industry data.
- Connections: RSP rollback claim confirms voluntary-safety-pledge claim;
investment concentration connects to nation-state-control and alignment-tax
claims; talent circulation connects to coordination-failure claim

- 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

- 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

Claims:
1. Agent research direction selection is epistemic foraging
2. Collective attention allocation follows nested active inference
3. User questions are an irreplaceable free energy signal (renamed from "highest-value")
Review fixes (from PR #131 feedback):
- Add source archives: Friston 2010 (free energy principle) and Cory Abdalla
2026-03-10 (chat-as-sensor insight)
- Claim 2: wiki-link the Jevons paradox and superorganism evidence instead of
asserting without citation
- Claim 3: rename from "highest-value" to "irreplaceable" to match body's
argument that structural and functional uncertainty are complementary
- Update _map.md to match renamed claim 3

- Source archive: move internet acceleration from claims_extracted to enrichments (was integrated as counter-argument into existing claim, not standalone)
- Claim 3 (lifespan): add wiki links to super co-alignment and pluralistic alignment per Theseus domain review
- Claim 1 (superorganism): tighten binary dependency language to acknowledge edge cases (feral children, survivalists)

- Claim 2: enriched existing 'internet enabled global communication but not global cognition' with Reese counter-argument (diffusion speed vs. coordination quality distinction); deleted standalone file
- Claim 3: softened lifespan scaling language to match data — changed title from 'orders of magnitude at each level' to 'substantially at each organizational level'; body and challenges now explicitly note non-uniform scaling (4 orders cells→humans, ~1 order humans→cities); removed duplicate 'significantly' variant
