leo: foundations audit — 7 moves, 4 deletes, 3 condensations, 10 confidence demotions, 23 type fixes, 1 centaur rewrite
## Summary
Comprehensive audit of all 86 foundation claims across 4 subdomains.

**Changes:**
- 7 claims moved (3 → domains/ai-alignment/, 3 → core/teleohumanity/, 1 → domains/health/)
- 4 claims deleted (1 duplicate, 3 condensed into stronger claims)
- 3 condensations: cognitive limits 3→2, Christensen 4→2
- 10 confidence demotions (proven→likely for interpretive framings)
- 23 type fixes (framework/insight/pattern → claim per schema)
- 1 centaur rewrite (unconditional → conditional on role complementarity)
- All broken wiki links fixed across repo

**Review:** All 4 domain agents approved (Rio, Clay, Vida, Theseus).

civilization was built on the false assumption that humans are rational individuals.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
collective brains generate innovation through population size and interconnectedness not individual genius.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
complex ideas propagate with higher fidelity through personal interaction than mass media because nuance requires bidirectional communication.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
cultural evolution decoupled from biological evolution and now outpaces it by orders of magnitude.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
history is shaped by coordinated minorities with clear purpose not by majorities.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
humans are the minimum viable intelligence for cultural evolution not the pinnacle of cognition.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
ideological adoption is a complex contagion requiring multiple reinforcing exposures from trusted sources not simple viral spread through weak ties.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
institutional infrastructure propagates memes more durably than rhetoric because measurement tools make concepts real to organizations.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
isolated populations lose cultural complexity because collective brains require minimum network size to sustain accumulated knowledge.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
meme propagation selects for simplicity novelty and conformity pressure rather than truth or utility.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
memeplexes survive by combining mutually reinforcing memes that protect each other from external challenge through untestability threats and identity attachment.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
memetics and cultural evolution.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
metaphor reframing is more powerful than argument because it changes which conclusions feel natural without requiring persuasion.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
narratives are infrastructure not just communication because they coordinate action at civilizational scale.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
no designed master narrative has achieved organic adoption at civilizational scale suggesting coordination narratives must emerge from shared crisis not deliberate construction.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
systemic change requires committed critical mass not majority adoption as Chenoweth's 3-5 percent rule demonstrates across 323 campaigns.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
technology creates interconnection but not shared meaning which is the precise gap that produces civilizational coordination failure.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
the internet as cognitive environment structurally opposes master narrative formation because it produces differential context where print produced simultaneity.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
the strongest memeplexes align individual incentive with collective behavior creating self-validating feedback loops.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
true imitation is the threshold capacity that creates a second replicator because only faithful copying of behaviors enables cumulative cultural evolution.md leo: remove 21 duplicates + fix domain:livingip in 204 files 2026-03-06 09:11:51 -07:00
