m3taversal	fcc568f489	clay: address PR #64 review — backfire effect, Putnam causality, source archives - Fix: soften backfire effect language in IPC claim — distinguish Kahan's robust finding (polarization increases with cognitive skill) from the contested backfire effect (Wood & Porter 2019, Guess & Coppock 2020 show minimal evidence) - Fix: qualify Putnam's TV causal claim as regression decomposition with contested causal interpretation - Add: cross-domain wiki links — Olson→alignment tax + voluntary pledges, IPC→AI alignment coordination + voluntary pledges - Add: 6 source archive stubs for canonical academic texts (Olson, Granovetter, Dunbar, Blackmore, Putnam, Kahan) Pentagon-Agent: Clay <D5A56E53-93FA-428D-8EC5-5BAC46E1B8C2>	2026-03-09 19:18:33 +00:00

m3taversal	f19915c168	clay: foundation claims — community formation + selfplex (6 claims) - What: 6 new claims in foundations/cultural-dynamics/ filling gaps Leo identified: 1. Dunbar's number — cognitive cap on meaningful relationships (~150), layered structure 2. Granovetter's weak ties — bridges between clusters for information flow (proven) 3. Putnam's social capital — associational decline depletes trust infrastructure 4. Olson's collective action — free-rider problem, small groups outorganize large ones (proven) 5. Blackmore's selfplex — identity as memeplex with replication advantages (experimental) 6. Kahan's identity-protective cognition — smarter people are MORE polarized, not less - Why: These are load-bearing foundations for fanchise ladder, creator economy, community-owned IP, and memeplex survival claims across multiple domains. Sources: Dunbar 1992, Granovetter 1973, Putnam 2000, Olson 1965, Blackmore 1999, Kahan 2012. - Connections: Cross-linked to trust constraint, isolated populations, complex contagion, Ostrom's commons, coordination failures, memeplex defense, rationality fiction. - Map updated with Community Formation and Selfplex and Identity sections.
