- What: 3 NEW claims (society-of-thought emergence, LLMs-as-cultural-ratchet, recursive spawning) + 5 enrichments (intelligence-as-network, collective-intelligence-measurable, centaur, RLHF-failure, Ostrom) + 2 source archives
- Why: Evans, Bratton & Agüera y Arcas (2026) and Kim et al. (2026) provide independent convergent evidence for collective superintelligence thesis from Google's Paradigms of Intelligence Team. Kim et al. is the strongest empirical evidence that reasoning IS social cognition (feature steering doubles accuracy 27%→55%). ~70-80% overlap with existing KB = convergent validation.

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.

Phase 2 of 5-phase AI alignment research program. Christiano's prosaic
alignment counter-position to Yudkowsky. Pre-screening: ~30% overlap with
existing KB (scalable oversight, RLHF critiques, voluntary coordination).
NEW claims:
1. Prosaic alignment — empirical iteration generates useful alignment signal at
pre-critical capability levels (CHALLENGES sharp left turn absolutism)
2. Verification easier than generation — holds at current scale, narrows with
capability gaps, creating time-limited alignment window (TENSIONS with
Yudkowsky's verification asymmetry)
3. ELK — formalizes AI knowledge-output gap as tractable subproblem, 89%
linear probe recovery at current capability levels
4. IDA — recursive human+AI amplification preserves alignment through
distillation iterations but compounding errors make guarantee probabilistic
ENRICHMENT:
- Scalable oversight claim: added Christiano's debate theory (PSPACE
amplification with poly-time judges) as theoretical basis that empirical
data challenges

- What: Renamed claim title and all references from "defenders" to "arbitrageurs"
- Why: The mechanism works through self-interested profit-seeking, not altruistic defense. Arbitrageurs correct price distortions because it is profitable, requiring no intentional defense.
- Scope: 2 claim files renamed, 87 files updated across domains, core, maps, agents, entities, sources
- Cascade test: foundational claim with 70+ downstream references
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <A7E04531-985A-4DA2-B8E7-6479A13513E8>
- 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
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <B4A5B354-03D6-4291-A6A8-1E04A879D9AC>
- 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
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <B4A5B354-03D6-4291-A6A8-1E04A879D9AC>
- What: 4 foundational gap claims identified in foundations audit
- Auction theory (Vickrey, Milgrom, revenue equivalence) → teleological-economics
- Transaction cost economics (Coase, Williamson) → teleological-economics
- Information aggregation (Hayek, Fama, Grossman-Stiglitz) → collective-intelligence
- Platform economics (Rochet, Tirole, Eisenmann) → teleological-economics
- Why: These are load-bearing foundations for internet-finance domain.
Futarchy, token launch, and prediction market claims reference these
concepts without foundational grounding. All 4 are proven (Nobel Prize evidence).
- Connections: 30+ wiki links across all 4 claims connecting to existing
knowledge base in internet-finance, mechanisms, and critical-systems.

Reviewed by Leo. Mechanism design foundation claim (Hurwicz/Myerson/Maskin). Closes foundation gap #5 of 12. 8 wiki links to existing claims — load-bearing for futarchy, auction, and token economics stack.
Rewrites the superorganism synthesis claim (PR #51) to lead with 'superorganism'
as the primary term. 'Obligate mutualism' demoted from title to biological
precision footnote in body.
Title: "humanity is a superorganism that can communicate but not yet think"
Review: Clay approved (original proposer of the claim).
Pentagon-Agent: Leo <76FB9BCA-CC16-4479-B3E5-25A3769B3D7E>
* clay: add superorganism synthesis claim + CLAUDE.md precision conventions
- What: New synthesis claim in foundations/collective-intelligence/ reconciling
superorganism structure with cognition gap. Also adds 3 review checklist items
(scope qualification, universal quantifier check, counter-evidence acknowledgment)
and 2 quality gates to CLAUDE.md — precision conventions all 5 agents agreed on.
- Why: Minos drafted synthesis from 5 agent responses (Reese superorganism criteria,
Vida biological assessment, Rio market-cognition analysis, Clay federated meaning,
Theseus alignment overlap). Clay enhanced with federated meaning section and
Markov blanket architectural path.
- Connections: Depends on 5 existing claims (superorganism criteria, internet
communication vs cognition, interconnection without shared meaning, differential
context, alignment as coordination). Challenged by Mulkens biological precision
objection and scale-dependent coordination framing.
Pentagon-Agent: Clay <9B4ECBA9-290E-4B2A-A063-1C33753A2EFE>
* clay: fix broken wiki link ai-alignment domain → ai-alignment/_map
- What: Fix Topics section link to point to actual map file
- Why: Leo review caught broken link in PR #51
Pentagon-Agent: Clay <9B4ECBA9-290E-4B2A-A063-1C33753A2EFE>
- What: Delete 21 byte-identical cultural theory claims from domains/entertainment/
that duplicate foundations/cultural-dynamics/. Fix domain: livingip → correct value
in 204 files across all core/, foundations/, and domains/ directories. Update domain
enum in schemas/claim.md and CLAUDE.md.
- Why: Duplicates inflated entertainment domain (41→20 actual claims), created
ambiguous wiki link resolution. domain:livingip was a migration artifact that
broke any query using the domain field. 225 of 344 claims had wrong domain value.
- Impact: Entertainment _map.md still references cultural-dynamics claims via wiki
links — this is intentional (navigation hubs span directories). No wiki links broken.

- Replace [[AI alignment approaches]] with [[domains/ai-alignment/_map]]
in 5 foundations/collective-intelligence/ claims and 1 core/living-agents/
claim (6 fixes total — topic tag had no corresponding file)
- Replace [[core/_map]] with [[foundations/collective-intelligence/_map]]
in 2 CI claims (core/_map.md doesn't exist)
- Add 3 new claims from PR #20 to domains/ai-alignment/_map.md:
voluntary safety pledges, government supply chain designation,
nuclear war escalation in LLM simulations
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <845F10FB-BC22-40F6-A6A6-F6E4D8F78465>
- Restore [[COVID proved humanity cannot coordinate...]] wiki link
that was incorrectly removed in enrichment. File exists at
core/teleohumanity/ and is a relevant connection.
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <845F10FB-BC22-40F6-A6A6-F6E4D8F78465>
New claims:
- voluntary safety pledges collapse under competitive pressure (Anthropic RSP rollback Feb 2026)
- government supply chain designation penalizes safety (Pentagon/Anthropic Mar 2026)
- models escalate to nuclear war 95% of the time (King's College war games Feb 2026)
Enrichments:
- alignment tax claim: added 2026 empirical evidence paragraph, cleaned broken links
- coordination problem claim: added Anthropic/Pentagon/OpenAI case study, cleaned broken links
