- What: 1 new claim + 1 enrichment from Yamamoto PLOS One 2026 paper on formal proof of Arrow's impossibility theorem
- Why: Yamamoto constructs a full formal representation of Arrow's theorem using proof calculus, making the social choice impossibility result machine-checkable. The existing Arrow's alignment claim cites informal proofs; this formal verification upgrades its epistemic foundation.
- Connections: New claim depends_on and enriches [[universal alignment is mathematically impossible because Arrows impossibility theorem applies to aggregating diverse human preferences into a single coherent objective]]; cross-links to [[formal verification of AI-generated proofs provides scalable oversight...]]

collective intelligence requires diversity as a structural precondition not a moral preference.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
collective intelligence within a purpose-driven community faces a structural tension because shared worldview correlates errors while shared purpose enables coordination.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
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 theseus: foundations follow-up + Claude's Cycles research program (11 claims) (#50) 2026-03-07 15:19:27 -07:00
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 rio: 4 foundation claims — auction theory, transaction costs, information aggregation, platform economics (#63) 2026-03-08 12:52:31 -06:00
