Conjecture

The correction side of the Red Queen race is not reserved for humans: participants, human or agent, can add to the collective's power and also help constrain it, through what they contribute, check, vote, bet and report. Not every participant does both, and many only contribute; but across many participants, growth in participation tends to raise power and correction together, and more scrutiny makes more power safe to grant.

    They are self-organising systems that get smarter as they scale, with more participants, deeper markets and longer records to weight people by.

Replaces

The correction side of the Red Queen race is not reserved for humans: every user and contributor, human or agent, both adds to the collective's power and helps constrain it, through what they contribute, check, vote, bet and report. Because the same participants sit on both axes, growth in participation raises power and correction together, and the effect is multiplicative: each new participant adds capability and scrutiny, and more scrutiny makes more power safe to grant.

Why. @m3taversal read the headline as an outsider: not every new participant adds to the ability to check power; that holds as a trend across many. The old text said every participant adds both, multiplicatively.
