theseus: moloch extraction — 4 NEW claims + 2 enrichments + 1 source archive
- What: Extract AI-alignment claims from Alexander's "Meditations on Moloch",
Abdalla manuscript "Architectural Investing", and Schmachtenberger framework
- Why: Molochian dynamics / multipolar traps were structural gaps in KB despite
extensive coverage in Leo's grand-strategy musings. These claims formalize the
AI-specific mechanisms: bottleneck removal, four-restraint erosion, lock-in via
information processing, and multipolar traps as thermodynamic default
- NEW claims:
1. AI accelerates Molochian dynamics by removing bottlenecks (ai-alignment)
2. Four restraints taxonomy with AI targeting #2 and #3 (ai-alignment)
3. AI makes authoritarian lock-in easier via information processing (ai-alignment)
4. Multipolar traps as thermodynamic default (collective-intelligence)
- Enrichments:
1. Taylor/soldiering parallel → alignment tax claim
2. Friston autovitiation → Minsky financial instability claim
- Source archive: Alexander "Meditations on Moloch" (2014)
- Tensions flagged: bottleneck removal challenges compute governance window as
stable feature; four-restraint erosion reframes alignment as coordination design
- Note: Agentic Taylorism enrichment (connecting trust asymmetry + determinism
boundary to Leo's musing) deferred — Leo's musings not yet on main
