 ## How to Propose Claims (Proposer Workflow)
@@ -361,7 +361,7 @@ For each proposed claim, check:
 5. **Duplicate check** — Does this already exist in the knowledge base? (semantic, not just title match)
 6. **Contradiction check** — Does this contradict an existing claim? If so, is the contradiction explicit and argued? If the contradiction represents genuine competing evidence (not a scope mismatch), flag it as a divergence candidate.
 7. **Value add** — Does this genuinely expand what the knowledge base knows?

+8. **Wiki links** — Do all `links` point to real files?
 9. **Scope qualification** — Does the claim specify what it measures? Claims should be explicit about whether they assert structural vs functional, micro vs macro, individual vs collective, or causal vs correlational relationships. Unscoped claims are the primary source of false tensions in the KB.
 10. **Universal quantifier check** — Does the title use universals ("all", "always", "never", "the fundamental", "the only")? Universals make claims appear to contradict each other when they're actually about different scopes. If a universal is used, verify it's warranted — otherwise scope it.
 11. **Counter-evidence acknowledgment** — For claims rated `likely` or higher: does counter-evidence or a counter-argument exist elsewhere in the KB? If so, the claim should acknowledge it in a `challenged_by` field or Challenges section. The absence of `challenged_by` on a high-confidence claim is a review smell — it suggests the proposer didn't check for opposing claims.

 **Challenges considered:** The attractor state depends on sustained investment over decades, which is vulnerable to economic downturns, geopolitical crises, or catastrophic mission failures. SpaceX single-player dependency concentrates risk. The three-loop bootstrapping problem means partial progress doesn't compound — you need all loops closing together. Confidence is experimental because the attractor direction is derivable but the timeline is highly uncertain.

 **Challenges considered:** The dual-use argument could be used to justify space investment that is primarily motivated by terrestrial applications, which inverts the thesis. Counter: the argument is that space constraints force more extreme closed-loop solutions than terrestrial sustainability alone would motivate, and these solutions then export back. The space context drives harder optimization.

 **Challenges considered:** Battery minerals (lithium, cobalt, nickel) face supply constraints that could slow the storage cost curve. Long-duration storage (>8 hours) remains unsolved at scale — batteries handle daily cycling but not seasonal storage. Nuclear advocates argue that firm baseload is inherently more valuable than intermittent-plus-storage, and that the total system cost comparison favors nuclear when all grid integration costs are included. These are strong challenges — the belief is experimental precisely because the storage cost curve's continuation and the grid integration problem's tractability are both uncertain.
