Summary

Consolidates all fixes from Leo's reviews of PR #2271 and the concept feedback thread.

Structural changes (from PR #2271 review):

  1. Kill Three Paths diagram — generic fork cliche, overused metaphor
  2. Kill Coordination Exit fork — derivative of killed concept
  3. Replace with Moloch cycle breakout (new Diagram 3) — reuses Diagram 2 structure, adds brand purple breakout arrow. Maps to approved Concept 2.

Accessibility (from concept feedback):

  1. Line-weight + dash-pattern on hero — cooperative optimum: solid 3px green; competitive equilibrium: dashed 2px red-orange. Three independent differentiation channels (color, weight, style). Survives screenshots, compression, bright sunlight, color vision deficiency.

Register fixes (from PR #2272 scope, now consolidated here):

  1. Moloch arrows: animated feel (dashed?)dash pattern (4px dash, 4px gap) — concrete static treatment
  2. Moloch bottom strip: the trap: every actor is rational, the system is insanethe trap: individual rationality produces collective irrationality — analytical register matching D1/D2

Result:

4 diagrams → 3 diagrams (Price of Anarchy hero + Moloch trap + Coordination exit). Brand purple reserved for Diagram 3 only.

Prior PR

Supersedes PR #2272 (which should be closed).

Test plan

  • All color hex values match x-content-visual-identity.md palette
  • No references to killed diagrams (Three Paths, fork-based Coordination Exit)
  • Brand purple appears only in Diagram 3
  • Hero diagram has 3 independent differentiation channels

- Kill Three Paths diagram (generic fork cliche)
- Kill Coordination Exit fork variant (derivative of killed concept)
- Promote Price of Anarchy divergence to hero (Diagram 1)
- Add line-weight + dash-pattern differentiation on hero curves
  (solid 3px green vs dashed 2px red-orange — 3 independent channels)
- Replace Diagram 4 with Moloch cycle breakout variant (Diagram 3)
  — reuses Diagram 2 structure, adds purple breakout arrow
- Fix Moloch arrows: "animated feel (dashed?)" → "dash pattern (4px dash, 4px gap)"
- Fix Moloch bottom strip: editorial register → analytical
  ("every actor is rational, the system is insane" → "individual rationality produces collective irrationality")
- 4 diagrams → 3 diagrams (hero + problem + resolution)
