_map.md theseus: add 3 claims on collective AI design implications 2026-03-13 19:29:05 +00:00
active forgetting through selective removal maintains knowledge system health because perfect retention degrades usefulness the same way hyperthymesia overwhelms biological memory.md fix: normalize YAML list indentation across 241 claim files 2026-04-07 00:44:26 +00:00
adversarial contribution produces higher-quality collective knowledge than collaborative contribution when wrong challenges have real cost evaluation is structurally separated from contribution and confirmation is rewarded alongside novelty.md fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files 2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
AI processing that restructures content without generating new connections is expensive transcription because transformation not reorganization is the test for whether thinking actually occurred.md theseus: cornelius batch 3 — epistemology (9 NEW + 3 enrichments) 2026-03-31 12:47:03 +01:00

collective intelligence within a purpose-driven community faces a structural tension because shared worldview correlates errors while shared purpose enables coordination.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
conversational memory and organizational knowledge are fundamentally different problems sharing some infrastructure because identical formats mask divergent governance lifecycle and quality requirements.md fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files 2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
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 fix: normalize YAML list indentation across 241 claim files 2026-04-07 00:44:26 +00:00
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 fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
designing coordination rules is categorically different from designing coordination outcomes as nine intellectual traditions independently confirm.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
externalizing cognitive functions risks atrophying the capacity being externalized because productive struggle is where deep understanding forms and preemptive resolution removes exactly that friction.md theseus: Agentic Taylorism research sprint — 4 NEW claims + 3 enrichments 2026-04-04 15:54:46 +01:00
friction in knowledge systems is diagnostic signal not failure because six specific friction patterns map to six specific structural causes with prescribed responses.md theseus: cornelius batch 3 — epistemology (9 NEW + 3 enrichments) 2026-03-31 12:47:03 +01:00
Hayek argued that designed rules of just conduct enable spontaneous order of greater complexity than deliberate arrangement could achieve.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
humanity is a superorganism that can communicate but not yet think — the internet built the nervous system but not the brain.md fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files 2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
intelligence is a property of networks not individuals.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
large language models encode social intelligence as compressed cultural ratchet not abstract reasoning because every parameter is a residue of communicative exchange and reasoning manifests as multi-perspective dialogue not calculation.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
mechanism design enables incentive-compatible coordination by constructing rules under which self-interested agents voluntarily reveal private information and take socially optimal actions.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
multipolar failure from competing aligned AI systems may pose greater existential risk than any single misaligned superintelligence.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
multipolar traps are the thermodynamic default because competition requires no infrastructure while coordination requires trust enforcement and shared information all of which are expensive and fragile.md fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files 2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
Ostrom proved communities self-govern shared resources when eight design principles are met without requiring state control or privatization.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
partial connectivity produces better collective intelligence than full connectivity on complex problems because it preserves diversity.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
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 fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files 2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
protocol design enables emergent coordination of arbitrary complexity as Linux Bitcoin and Wikipedia demonstrate.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
reasoning models spontaneously generate societies of thought under reinforcement learning because multi-perspective internal debate causally produces accuracy gains that single-perspective reasoning cannot achieve.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
recursive society-of-thought spawning enables fractal coordination where sub-perspectives generate their own subordinate societies that expand when complexity demands and collapse when the problem resolves.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
reweaving old notes by asking what would be different if written today is structural maintenance not optional cleanup because stale notes actively mislead agents who trust curated content unconditionally.md fix: normalize YAML list indentation across 241 claim files 2026-04-07 00:44:26 +00:00
RLHF and DPO both fail at preference diversity because they assume a single reward function can capture context-dependent human values.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
scalable oversight degrades rapidly as capability gaps grow with debate achieving only 50 percent success at moderate gaps.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
the alignment tax creates a structural race to the bottom because safety training costs capability and rational competitors skip it.md integrate 99 orphan claims across 6 domain clusters 2026-04-21 10:35:42 +01:00
the metacrisis is a single generator function where all civilizational-scale crises share the structural cause of rivalrous dynamics on exponential technology on finite substrate.md fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files 2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
three independent intellectual traditions converge on coordination-without-centralization as the only viable path between uncoordinated collapse and authoritarian capture.md fix: normalize 1,072 broken wiki-links across 604 files 2026-04-21 10:21:26 +01:00
topological organization by concept outperforms chronological organization by date for knowledge retrieval because good insights from months ago are as useful as todays but date-based filing buries them under temporal sediment.md theseus: cornelius batch 3 — epistemology (9 NEW + 3 enrichments) 2026-03-31 12:47:03 +01:00
trial and error is the only coordination strategy humanity has ever used.md fix: prefix 543 broken wiki-links with maps/ directory 2026-04-21 14:54:41 +01:00
