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.

notes function as cognitive anchors that stabilize attention during complex reasoning by externalizing reference points that survive working memory degradation
cognitive anchors that stabilize attention too firmly prevent the productive instability that precedes genuine insight because anchoring suppresses the signal that would indicate the anchor needs updating
Cowan's working memory (~4 items), Sophie Leroy attention residue (23 min), micro-interruption research (2.8s doubling error rates). Smart zone = first ~40% of context window. Key tension: anchoring both enables and prevents complex reasoning.
