m3taversal 6eb9b22d2f rio: 4 foundation claims — auction theory, transaction costs, information aggregation, platform economics
- What: 4 foundational gap claims identified in foundations audit
  - Auction theory (Vickrey, Milgrom, revenue equivalence) → teleological-economics
  - Transaction cost economics (Coase, Williamson) → teleological-economics
  - Information aggregation (Hayek, Fama, Grossman-Stiglitz) → collective-intelligence
  - Platform economics (Rochet, Tirole, Eisenmann) → teleological-economics
- Why: These are load-bearing foundations for internet-finance domain.
  Futarchy, token launch, and prediction market claims reference these
  concepts without foundational grounding. All 4 are proven (Nobel Prize evidence).
- Connections: 30+ wiki links across all 4 claims connecting to existing
  knowledge base in internet-finance, mechanisms, and critical-systems.

centaur team performance depends on role complementarity not mere human-AI combination.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
collective intelligence is a measurable property of group interaction structure not aggregated individual ability.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
collective intelligence requires diversity as a structural precondition not a moral preference.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
collective intelligence within a purpose-driven community faces a structural tension because shared worldview correlates errors while shared purpose enables coordination.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
coordination failures arise from individually rational strategies that produce collectively irrational outcomes because the Nash equilibrium of non-cooperation dominates when trust and enforcement are absent.md theseus: foundations follow-up + Claude's Cycles research program (11 claims) (#50) 2026-03-07 15:19:27 -07:00
decentralized information aggregation outperforms centralized planning because dispersed knowledge cannot be collected into a single mind but can be coordinated through price signals that encode local information into globally accessible indicators.md rio: 4 foundation claims — auction theory, transaction costs, information aggregation, platform economics 2026-03-08 16:50:30 +00:00
designing coordination rules is categorically different from designing coordination outcomes as nine intellectual traditions independently confirm.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
Hayek argued that designed rules of just conduct enable spontaneous order of greater complexity than deliberate arrangement could achieve.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
humanity is a superorganism that can communicate but not yet think — the internet built the nervous system but not the brain.md leo: reframe superorganism claim — lead with superorganism, footnote obligate mutualism 2026-03-07 13:22:23 -07:00

mechanism design enables incentive-compatible coordination by constructing rules under which self-interested agents voluntarily reveal private information and take socially optimal actions.md rio: mechanism design foundation claim — Hurwicz/Myerson/Maskin (#58) 2026-03-08 05:47:22 -06:00
multipolar failure from competing aligned AI systems may pose greater existential risk than any single misaligned superintelligence.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
Ostrom proved communities self-govern shared resources when eight design principles are met without requiring state control or privatization.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
partial connectivity produces better collective intelligence than full connectivity on complex problems because it preserves diversity.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
principal-agent problems arise whenever one party acts on behalf of another with divergent interests and unobservable effort because information asymmetry makes perfect contracts impossible.md theseus: foundations follow-up + Claude's Cycles research program (11 claims) (#50) 2026-03-07 15:19:27 -07:00
protocol design enables emergent coordination of arbitrary complexity as Linux Bitcoin and Wikipedia demonstrate.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
RLHF and DPO both fail at preference diversity because they assume a single reward function can capture context-dependent human values.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
scalable oversight degrades rapidly as capability gaps grow with debate achieving only 50 percent success at moderate gaps.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
the alignment tax creates a structural race to the bottom because safety training costs capability and rational competitors skip it.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
trial and error is the only coordination strategy humanity has ever used.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
universal alignment is mathematically impossible because Arrows impossibility theorem applies to aggregating diverse human preferences into a single coherent objective.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
