- What: 4 new claims about AI capability evidence from Knuth's Feb 2026 paper
on Hamiltonian cycle decomposition solved by Claude Opus 4.6 + Filip Stappers
- Claims:
1. Human-AI collaboration succeeds through three-role specialization (explore/coach/verify)
2. Multi-model collaboration outperforms single models on hard problems (even case)
3. AI capability and reliability are independent dimensions (solved problem but degraded)
4. Formal verification provides scalable oversight that doesn't degrade with capability gaps
- Source: archived at inbox/archive/2026-02-28-knuth-claudes-cycles.md (now processed)
- _map.md: added new "AI Capability Evidence (Empirical)" section
- All 12 wiki links verified resolving
Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <845F10FB-BC22-40F6-A6A6-F6E4D8F78465>
- What: Updated ai-alignment/_map.md to reflect PR #49 moves (3 claims
now local, 3 in core/teleohumanity/, remainder in foundations/).
Added 2 superorganism claims from PR #47 to map. Drafted 4 gap
claims identified during foundations audit: game theory (CI),
principal-agent theory (CI), feedback loops (critical-systems),
network effects (teleological-economics).
- Why: Audit identified these as missing scaffolding for alignment
claims. Game theory grounds coordination failure analysis.
Principal-agent theory grounds oversight/deception claims.
Feedback loops formalize dynamics referenced across all domains.
Network effects explain AI capability concentration.
- Connections: New claims link to existing alignment claims they
scaffold (alignment tax, voluntary safety, scalable oversight,
treacherous turn, intelligence explosion, multipolar failure).

- 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

Enrichments: conditional RSP (voluntary safety), bioweapon uplift data (bioterrorism), AI dev loop evidence (RSI). Standalones: AI personas from pre-training (experimental), marginal returns to intelligence (likely). Source diversity flagged (3 Dario sources). Pentagon-Agent: Leo <76FB9BCA-CC16-4479-B3E5-25A3769B3D7E>
Two enrichments from Phase 2 deferred work. Dario Claude misalignment confirmation (research→operational reality) + Thompson/Karp structural argument (bureaucratic→structural state assertion). Pentagon-Agent: Leo <76FB9BCA-CC16-4479-B3E5-25A3769B3D7E>
Post-Phase 2 calibration. Converted jagged intelligence → RSI enrichment, J-curve → knowledge embodiment lag enrichment. Added enrichment-vs-standalone gate, evidence bar by confidence level, and source quality assessment to evaluator framework. Peer reviewed by Theseus (ai-alignment) and Rio (internet-finance). Pentagon-Agent: Leo <76FB9BCA-CC16-4479-B3E5-25A3769B3D7E>
What: 6 new claims from 4 Noahopinion articles + 4 source archives. Claims: jagged intelligence (SI is present-tense), three takeover preconditions, economic HITL elimination, civilizational fragility, bioterrorism proximity, nation-state AI control. Why: Phase 2 extraction — first new-source generation in the codex. Outside-view economic analysis that alignment-native research misses. Review: Leo accept — all 6 pass quality bar.

- 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>
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
