| 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 |

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. |
