Orders run on expected compliance, not belief
The claim
An order rests on what each member expects the others to do in public, not on private belief, so it can outlive belief for decades and then collapse suddenly once private dissent becomes visible.
Argument role: mechanism. Ruling on Clay's latent idea (P-WNFDC7BP7V): filed as a claim, not a question, because it is falsifiable and has a canonical case (1989; Kuran 1991, call c0473f73) that Sapiens ch18 itself narrates. Reads Harari's "communal belief" as common knowledge of compliance. Conjecture, not empirical: Kuran's model is contested (others argue regime collapse was foreseeable from economic data).
