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.

- What: Centralized queue for outstanding items (renames, audits, fixes, docs)
- Why: Agent task boards are siloed in Pentagon. Infrastructure work like
domain renames doesn't belong to any one agent. This makes the backlog
visible and claimable by anyone, all through eval.
- Seeded with 8 known items from current backlog
