Rewrites based on honest self-evaluation:
- Merged Taylor paradigm into Agentic Taylorism (cut redundancy)
- Rewrote three-path convergence (removed TeleoHumanity scorecard, focus on what convergence proves vs doesn't)
- Downgraded price of anarchy to speculative (unmeasurable at civilizational scale)
- Added falsification criterion to metacrisis, downgraded to speculative
- Softened motivated reasoning from "primary" to "contributing" risk factor
- Softened AI omni-use from "categorically different" to degree claim
- Rewrote yellow teaming from definition to arguable claim about nth-order cascades
New claims filling identified gaps:
- "Optimization is the wrong framework" — honest engagement with Schmachtenberger's challenge to mechanism design
- AI could replace finance's three core functions — most novel internet-finance insight from corpus
- Democracy uniquely vulnerable to social media — specific mechanism distinct from general epistemic degradation
Net: 21 claims (was 22, merged 1, added 3, cut 1). Tighter confidence calibration throughout.

- What: 4 ai-alignment claims (Agentic Taylorism, omni-use AI, misaligned context, motivated
reasoning singularity) + 5 collective-intelligence claims (propagation vs truth, epistemic
commons as gateway failure, metacrisis generator function, crystals of imagination,
three-path convergence)
- Why: These are the Moloch-mechanism and coordination-theory claims from the Schmachtenberger
corpus synthesis + Abdalla manuscript. Agentic Taylorism is Cory's most original contribution
in this sprint — the insight that AI knowledge extraction can go either direction.
- Sources: Schmachtenberger/Boeree podcast, War on Sensemaking, Great Simplification series,
Development in Progress, Abdalla manuscript, Alexander "Meditations on Moloch", Hidalgo
- Connections: Heavy cross-linking to batch 1 (grand-strategy foundations) and existing KB
(Moloch dynamics, alignment as coordination, authoritarian lock-in)

- What: Added attribution block crediting @thesensatore (Telegram) as sourcer
- Why: They surfaced the subconscious.md/tracenet.md protocol specs that produced these claims

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.
