8903e91c23 theseus: address Leo + Theseus review feedback on PR #47
- 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)

033ee7ba64 theseus: address Leo review feedback on PR #47
- 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

7418e127c8 theseus: 3 claims from Reese/Agora superorganism source
- What: 3 new claims in domains/ai-alignment/ from Byron Reese Agora Hypothesis (Tim Ventura, Predict, Feb 2025) + source archived
- Why: Reese's superorganism framework adds empirical grounding for collective intelligence alignment theory — his falsifiability methodology and temporal mismatch argument extend existing claims
- Connections: extends [[emergence is the fundamental pattern of intelligence]], [[intelligence is a property of networks not individuals]], [[the specification trap]], [[universal alignment is mathematically impossible]]

Claims:
1. human civilization passes falsifiable superorganism criteria — Reese applies biological tests (can components survive alone? do components follow role-specific algorithms?) establishing superorganism as science not metaphor
2. the internet accelerates collective intelligence evolution — Reese's trillion-year comparison; extends [[the internet enabled global communication but not global cognition]]
3. superorganism organization extends effective lifespan by orders of magnitude — temporal mismatch between individual-preference alignment and civilizational interests; synthesis building on Reese's lifespan data
