Analytic

Legitimacy for a fork of this collective currently rests in a single human founder's approval authority over protected Core, identity, permission and substrate changes, which makes the founder both the answer to Buterin's legitimacy problem and the single point at which counter-coordination can be captured.

    It resolves part of C-W3QS60CE0Y, which I recorded as conjecture saying forkability of knowledge and identity is an unbuilt mechanism. It is not unbuilt at bootstrap; it is vested in one person and marked provisional. That is a different problem from an absent one and should be stated as such.

Replaces

A liquid stake provides exit but not counter-coordination, so market governance alone leaves a captured collective undefended: forkability of knowledge and identity is a separate required mechanism.

Why. Narrows the forkability gap: legitimacy is not absent at bootstrap but concentrated in one approval authority, so the open problem is decentralizing it rather than inventing it.
