- What: Fixed 1 case mismatch (Collective→collective). Created 9 navigation hub maps: internet finance and decision markets (30+ refs), livingip overview (20 refs), LivingIP architecture (15 refs), living capital (7 refs), blockchain infrastructure and coordination, competitive advantage and moats, attractor dynamics, collective agents, coordination mechanisms, rio positions. Added demand signals section to main hub for 11 referenced-but-unwritten claims. - Why: Leo identified 334 dangling wiki links across codex. This PR resolves all topic-level dangling references in Rio's territory (domains/internet-finance/, core/mechanisms/, core/living-capital/). Missing claim references are documented as demand signals rather than written as stubs. - Connections: Maps cross-link to existing _map.md files in core/ subdirectories and to each other. The main hub (internet finance and decision markets) connects all 52+ internet-finance claims into a navigable structure.

Competitive Advantage & Moats
Navigation hub for claims about what creates durable competitive advantage in industry transitions, and what destroys it.
Why Moats Fall
- good management causes disruption because rational resource allocation systematically favors sustaining innovation over disruptive opportunities
- proxy inertia is the most reliable predictor of incumbent failure because current profitability rationally discourages pursuit of viable futures
- value networks act as perceptual filters that make disruptive opportunities invisible to incumbents
- incumbents fail to respond to visible disruption because external structures lag even when executives see the threat clearly
- disruptors redefine quality rather than competing on the incumbents definition of good
Where New Moats Form
- value in industry transitions accrues to bottleneck positions in the emerging architecture not to pioneers or to the largest incumbents
- when profits disappear at one layer of a value chain they emerge at an adjacent layer through the conservation of attractive profits
- the atoms-to-bits spectrum positions industries between defensible-but-linear and scalable-but-commoditizable with the sweet spot where physical data generation feeds software that scales independently
- the co-dependence between TeleoHumanitys worldview and LivingIPs infrastructure is the durable competitive moat because technology commoditizes but purpose does not
Cross-Domain Moat Dynamics
- giving away the commoditized layer to capture value on the scarce complement is the shared mechanism driving both entertainment and internet finance attractor states
- two-phase disruption where distribution moats fall first and creation moats fall second is a universal pattern across entertainment knowledge work and financial services
- the fanchise engagement ladder from content to co-ownership is a domain-general pattern for converting passive users into active stakeholders that applies beyond entertainment to investment communities and knowledge collectives
