m3taversal 4536e63e40 theseus: add 8 claims + 2 enrichments from Cornelius Batch 2 (stigmergic coordination)
- What: 8 NEW claims (inter-note traversal knowledge, three-space memory architecture,
  three-timescale maintenance loops, anchor calcification, digital stigmergy vulnerability,
  cognitive anchoring, knowledge processing phases, vault structure as behavior determinant)
  + 2 enrichments (stigmergy: hooks-as-mechanized-stigmergy; self-improvement: procedural
  self-awareness + self-serving optimization risk) + 5 source archives
- Why: Cornelius Agentic Note-Taking articles 09, 10, 13, 19, 25 — stigmergic coordination,
  cognitive science, and knowledge architecture themes. Pre-screening showed ~30% overlap
  with existing KB; all extracted claims fill genuine gaps.
- Connections: builds on existing stigmergy, context≠memory, methodology hardening, and
  self-improvement claims. Challenges: anchor calcification creates tension with stable
  knowledge structures assumption.

digital stigmergy is structurally vulnerable because digital traces do not evaporate and agents trust the environment unconditionally so malformed artifacts persist and corrupt downstream processing indefinitely
stigmergic-coordination-scales-better-than-direct-messaging-for-large-agent-collectives-because-indirect-signaling-reduces-coordination-overhead-from-quadratic-to-linear (hooks-as-mechanized-stigmergy + invest in environment not agents)
Grassé 1959 stigmergy theory. Hooks as automated stigmergic responses. Ward Cunningham's wiki as stigmergic medium. Key insight: the fundamental vulnerability is unconditional environment trust + no trace evaporation.
