Ostrom's case against the Leviathan is about information: in her model a central agency must sanction correctly with probability above 0.75 merely to beat the unregulated game, she doubts "any national agency can ever have the extensive time and place information" local rules need, and centrally run irrigation often failed on its own terms. The systems that worked were "rich mixtures of private-like and public-like institutions". This backs plural oversight against a single supervising conscience, but it is the very information edge Genesis argues AI could erase, so that dispute stays open.
