a3834d2e96 theseus: archive Reitbauer paper + enrich multi-model claim
- What: Reitbauer's "Alternative Hamiltonian Decomposition" archived and ingested
- Enrichment: multi-model claim updated with Reitbauer detail —
  simplest collaboration method (manual copy-paste) produced simplest construction
- Knuth's assessment: "probably the simplest possible" construction
- Method: GPT 5.4 Extended Thinking + Claude 4.6 Sonnet Thinking via text relay
- Key insight: model diversity searches different solution space regardless of
  orchestration sophistication

e17f84a548 theseus: deep extraction from residue logs + KnuthClaudeLean formalization
- What: 2 new claims from Aquino-Michaels agent logs + meta-log, 1 enrichment
  from Morrison's Lean formalization, KnuthClaudeLean source archived
- Claims:
  1. Same coordination protocol produces radically different strategies on different models
  2. Tools transfer between agents and evolve through recombination (seeded solver)
- Enrichment: formal verification claim updated with Comparator trust model
  (specification vs proof verification bottleneck, adversarial proof design)
- Sources: residue meta_log.md, fast_agent_log.md, slow_agent_log.md,
  KnuthClaudeLean README (github.com/kim-em/KnuthClaudeLean/)
- _map.md: 2 new entries in Architecture & Scaling subsection

3d2f079633 theseus: extract 3 claims from Aquino-Michaels + enrich multi-model claim
- What: 3 new claims from "Completing Claude's Cycles" (no-way-labs/residue)
  + enrichment of existing multi-model claim with detailed architecture
- Claims:
  1. Structured exploration protocols reduce human intervention by 6x (Residue prompt)
  2. AI agent orchestration outperforms coaching (orchestrator as data router)
  3. Coordination protocol design produces larger gains than model scaling
- Enriched: multi-model claim now includes Aquino-Michaels's Agent O/C/orchestrator detail
- Source: archived at inbox/archive/2026-03-00-aquinomichaels-completing-claudes-cycles.md
- _map.md: AI Capability Evidence section reorganized into 3 subsections
  (Collaboration Patterns, Architecture & Scaling, Failure Modes & Oversight)
- All wiki links verified resolving

a86e804c87 theseus: extract 4 claims from Knuth's Claude's Cycles paper
- 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

ddee7f4c42 theseus: foundations follow-up — _map.md fix + 4 gap claims
- 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).
