m3taversal fcc568f489 clay: address PR #64 review — backfire effect, Putnam causality, source archives 
- Fix: soften backfire effect language in IPC claim — distinguish Kahan's robust finding (polarization increases with cognitive skill) from the contested backfire effect (Wood & Porter 2019, Guess & Coppock 2020 show minimal evidence)
- Fix: qualify Putnam's TV causal claim as regression decomposition with contested causal interpretation
- Add: cross-domain wiki links — Olson→alignment tax + voluntary pledges, IPC→AI alignment coordination + voluntary pledges
- Add: 6 source archive stubs for canonical academic texts (Olson, Granovetter, Dunbar, Blackmore, Putnam, Kahan)

Bowling Alone

Comprehensive empirical account of declining American civic engagement since the 1960s. Documents the erosion of social capital — generalized trust, reciprocity norms, and civic skills — as voluntary associations decline. Identifies four causal factors: generational replacement, television, suburban sprawl, and time pressure.
