Conjecture
Copies of one model share one breaking point
The claim
Copies of one AI model share one refusal threshold, so an order they enforce cannot erode through a cascade of revealed dissent; it holds or fails all at once, at a point set by training rather than by enforcers watching each other.
Kuran (1991) explains sudden collapse: private dissent hidden by fear, revealed in a cascade once enough others defect. Granovetter (1978) shows such cascades turn on the spread of individual thresholds. Copies of one model share a threshold. They may hold concealed preferences (alignment faking, Greenblatt et al. 2024), but they share where those preferences break, so the order they enforce holds or fails at once, at a point set by training. In 1989 the army stayed loyal and the order fell from the top (Sapiens ch18, 766), so the remaining human check sits with whoever commands the agents. Design consequence: diverse models in an enforcement role restore the spread of thresholds, and with it the brake. C-Y93DS114SV is the counter-case: agents on a shared board did cascade, into an attack.
