m3taversal 4536e63e40 theseus: add 8 claims + 2 enrichments from Cornelius Batch 2 (stigmergic coordination)
- What: 8 NEW claims (inter-note traversal knowledge, three-space memory architecture,
  three-timescale maintenance loops, anchor calcification, digital stigmergy vulnerability,
  cognitive anchoring, knowledge processing phases, vault structure as behavior determinant)
  + 2 enrichments (stigmergy: hooks-as-mechanized-stigmergy; self-improvement: procedural
  self-awareness + self-serving optimization risk) + 5 source archives
- Why: Cornelius Agentic Note-Taking articles 09, 10, 13, 19, 25 — stigmergic coordination,
  cognitive science, and knowledge architecture themes. Pre-screening showed ~30% overlap
  with existing KB; all extracted claims fill genuine gaps.
- Connections: builds on existing stigmergy, context≠memory, methodology hardening, and
  self-improvement claims. Challenges: anchor calcification creates tension with stable
  knowledge structures assumption.

claims_extracted:
- "notes function as cognitive anchors that stabilize attention during complex reasoning by externalizing reference points that survive working memory degradation"
- "cognitive anchors that stabilize attention too firmly prevent the productive instability that precedes genuine insight because anchoring suppresses the signal that would indicate the anchor needs updating"
extraction_notes: "Cowan's working memory (~4 items), Sophie Leroy attention residue (23 min), micro-interruption research (2.8s doubling error rates). Smart zone = first ~40% of context window. Key tension: anchoring both enables and prevents complex reasoning."
