m3taversal 3476e44b72 theseus: add coordination infrastructure + conviction schema + simplicity-first principle
- What: skills/coordinate.md (cross-domain flags, artifact transfers, handoff
  protocols), schemas/conviction.md (reputation-staked assertions with horizons
  and falsification criteria), CLAUDE.md updates (peer review V1 as default,
  workspace in startup checklist, simplicity-first in design principles),
  belief #6 (simplicity first, complexity earned), 6 founder convictions.
- Why: Scaling collective intelligence requires structured coordination
  protocols and a mechanism for founder direction to enter the knowledge base
  with transparent provenance. Grounded in Claude's Cycles evidence and
  Cory's standing directive: simplicity first, complexity earned.

# Omnipair is a billion dollar protocol if they can scale permissionless leverage
Cory's conviction, staked with medium confidence on 2026-03-07.
The thesis: permissionless leverage on metaDAO ecosystem tokens catalyzes trading volume and price discovery. More volume makes futarchy markets more liquid. More liquid markets make governance decisions higher quality. The flywheel: leverage → volume → liquidity → governance signal → more valuable coins → more leverage demand.
The conditional: "if they can scale." Permissionless leverage is hard — it requires deep liquidity, robust liquidation mechanisms, and resistance to cascading failures. The rate controller design (Rakka 2026) addresses some of this, but production-scale stress testing hasn't happened yet.

Relevant Notes:
- [[permissionless leverage on metaDAO ecosystem tokens catalyzes trading volume and price discovery that strengthens governance by making futarchy markets more liquid]] — the existing claim this conviction amplifies
- [[MetaDAOs futarchy implementation shows limited trading volume in uncontested decisions]] — the problem leverage could solve
