m3taversal ddee7f4c42 theseus: foundations follow-up — _map.md fix + 4 gap claims ... - What: Updated ai-alignment/_map.md to reflect PR #49 moves (3 claims now local, 3 in core/teleohumanity/, remainder in foundations/). Added 2 superorganism claims from PR #47 to map. Drafted 4 gap claims identified during foundations audit: game theory (CI), principal-agent theory (CI), feedback loops (critical-systems), network effects (teleological-economics). - Why: Audit identified these as missing scaffolding for alignment claims. Game theory grounds coordination failure analysis. Principal-agent theory grounds oversight/deception claims. Feedback loops formalize dynamics referenced across all domains. Network effects explain AI capability concentration. - Connections: New claims link to existing alignment claims they scaffold (alignment tax, voluntary safety, scalable oversight, treacherous turn, intelligence explosion, multipolar failure).
