26 claims across 7 intellectual lineages. These are the most-referenced missing wiki-link targets -- claims the KB expected to exist but nobody had written yet.

Mechanisms (8): hill climbing, simulated annealing, EMH failure, information cascades, Hayek knowledge problem, mechanism design, Vickrey auction, Bayesian priors
Grand-Strategy (11): strategy-as-design, 3 inertia types, wave-riding, proximate objectives, moat deepening, independent judgment, scarcity analysis, path dependence, product space, recursive improvement, existential risk
Cultural-Dynamics (4): narrative breakdown speed, world narrative lifecycle, plausibility structures, meaning+coordination
Collective-Intelligence (1): nested Markov blankets
Internet-Finance (1): ICO mechanism design failure
Complexity (1): punctuated equilibrium from self-organized criticality

7 clusters: optimization theory (hill climbing, simulated annealing),
information & markets (EMH, cascades, Hayek, Vickrey, priors),
strategy theory (design not decision, inertia types, proximate objectives,
wave-riding, moat deepening, independent judgment, scarcity analysis),
path dependence & complexity (path dependence, product space, punctuated
equilibrium, recursive improvement, existential risk),
narrative & meaning (breakdown speed, lifecycle, plausibility structures,
meaning+coordination requirement),
biological organization (nested Markov blankets),
internet-finance (ICO mechanism design failure).

These are the 26 most-referenced missing wiki-link targets --
claims the KB expected to exist but nobody had written yet.
