Three synthesis claims bridging the theoretical memetic foundations
layer to applied entertainment cases:
1. Complex contagion explains community-owned IP growth (Centola →
Claynosaurz progressive validation)
2. Collective brain theory predicts innovation asymmetry between
consolidating studios and expanding creator economy (Henrich →
three-body oligopoly + creator zero-sum)
3. Metaphor reframing explains AI content acceptance split (Lakoff →
Cornelius outsider frame vs replacement frame)
All experimental confidence. Synthesis from existing KB claims +
cultural evolution literature, not new source extraction.
