- What: Renamed claim title and all references from "defenders" to "arbitrageurs" - Why: The mechanism works through self-interested profit-seeking, not altruistic defense. Arbitrageurs correct price distortions because it is profitable, requiring no intentional defense. - Scope: 2 claim files renamed, 87 files updated across domains, core, maps, agents, entities, sources - Cascade test: foundational claim with 70+ downstream references Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <A7E04531-985A-4DA2-B8E7-6479A13513E8>

Coordination Mechanisms
Navigation hub for claims about how groups coordinate — from governance mechanisms to cultural dynamics to protocol design.
Market Mechanisms
- speculative markets aggregate information through incentive and selection effects not wisdom of crowds
- futarchy is manipulation-resistant because attack attempts create profitable opportunities for arbitrageurs
- governance mechanism diversity compounds organizational learning because disagreement between mechanisms reveals information no single mechanism can produce
- optimal governance requires mixing mechanisms because different decisions have different manipulation risk profiles

Protocol Design
- protocol design enables emergent coordination of arbitrary complexity as Linux Bitcoin and Wikipedia demonstrate
- designing coordination rules is categorically different from designing coordination outcomes as nine intellectual traditions independently confirm
- the gardener cultivates conditions for emergence while the builder imposes blueprints and complex adaptive systems systematically punish builders
The Coordination Gap
- technology advances exponentially but coordination mechanisms evolve linearly creating a widening gap
- the internet enabled global communication but not global cognition
- technology creates interconnection but not shared meaning which is the precise gap that produces civilizational coordination failure
- trial and error is the only coordination strategy humanity has ever used
Collective Intelligence
- collective intelligence is a measurable property of group interaction structure not aggregated individual ability
- collective intelligence requires diversity as a structural precondition not a moral preference
- partial connectivity produces better collective intelligence than full connectivity on complex problems because it preserves diversity
