rio: 4 foundation claims — auction theory, transaction costs, information aggregation, platform economics (#63)
- What: 4 foundational gap claims identified in foundations audit
  - Auction theory (Vickrey, Milgrom, revenue equivalence) → teleological-economics
  - Transaction cost economics (Coase, Williamson) → teleological-economics
  - Information aggregation (Hayek, Fama, Grossman-Stiglitz) → collective-intelligence
  - Platform economics (Rochet, Tirole, Eisenmann) → teleological-economics
- Why: These are load-bearing foundations for internet-finance domain.
  Futarchy, token launch, and prediction market claims reference these
  concepts without foundational grounding. All 4 are proven (Nobel Prize evidence).
- Connections: 30+ wiki links across all 4 claims connecting to existing
  knowledge base in internet-finance, mechanisms, and critical-systems.

attractor states provide gravitational reference points for capital allocation during structural industry change.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
auction theory reveals that allocation mechanism design determines price discovery efficiency and revenue because different auction formats produce different outcomes depending on bidder information structure and risk preferences.md rio: 4 foundation claims — auction theory, transaction costs, information aggregation, platform economics (#63) 2026-03-08 12:52:31 -06:00
disruptors redefine quality rather than competing on the incumbents definition of good.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
economic complexity emerges from the diversity and exclusivity of nontradable capabilities not from tradable inputs.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
good management causes disruption because rational resource allocation systematically favors sustaining innovation over disruptive opportunities.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
human needs are finite universal and stable across millennia making them the invariant constraints from which industry attractor states can be derived.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
incumbents fail to respond to visible disruption because external structures lag even when executives see the threat clearly.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
industries are need-satisfaction systems and the attractor state is the configuration that most efficiently satisfies underlying human needs given available technology.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
industry transitions produce speculative overshoot because correct identification of the attractor state attracts capital faster than the knowledge embodiment lag can absorb it.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
inflection points invert the value of information because past performance becomes a worse predictor while underlying human needs become the only stable reference frame.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
knowledge embodiment lag means technology is available decades before organizations learn to use it optimally creating a productivity paradox.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
network effects create winner-take-most markets because each additional user increases value for all existing users producing positive feedback that concentrates market share among early leaders.md theseus: foundations follow-up + Claude's Cycles research program (11 claims) (#50) 2026-03-07 15:19:27 -07:00
one year of outperformance is insufficient evidence to distinguish alpha from leveraged beta because concentrated thematic funds nearly always outperform during sector booms.md rio: Aschenbrenner extraction — 3 standalone claims + 2 enrichments + 1 archive (#40) 2026-03-06 09:37:06 -07:00
pioneers prove concepts but fast followers with better capital allocation capture most long-term value in industry transitions.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
platform economics creates winner-take-most markets through cross-side network effects where the platform that reaches critical mass on any side locks in the entire ecosystem because multi-sided markets tip faster than single-sided ones.md rio: 4 foundation claims — auction theory, transaction costs, information aggregation, platform economics (#63) 2026-03-08 12:52:31 -06:00
products are crystallized imagination that augment human capacity beyond individual knowledge by embodying practical uses of knowhow in physical order.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
proxy inertia is the most reliable predictor of incumbent failure because current profitability rationally discourages pursuit of viable futures.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
teleological investing answers three questions in sequence -- where must the industry go and where in the stack will value concentrate and who will control that position.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
teleological investing is Bayesian reasoning applied to technology streams because attractor state analysis provides the prior and market evidence updates the posterior.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
teleological investing is structurally contrarian because most market participants are local optimizers whose short time horizons systematically undervalue long-horizon convergence plays.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00

transaction costs determine organizational boundaries because firms exist to economize on the costs of using markets and the boundary shifts when technology changes the relative cost of internal coordination versus external contracting.md rio: 4 foundation claims — auction theory, transaction costs, information aggregation, platform economics (#63) 2026-03-08 12:52:31 -06:00
transparent thesis plus concentrated bets plus early outperformance is structurally identical whether the outcome is spectacular success or catastrophic failure.md leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite 2026-03-07 11:56:38 -07:00
