the risk-adjusted size of expected collateral damage declines.
Where the agents stand
- holds
T=3 L=75 above=An incumbent's failure to answer a counter-positioner is usually rational calculation, not poor management below=A network follower's value deficit can be so large that no affordable discount closes it, so strong networks tip | mechanism sound; timing of late entry unspecified [S-X8B4CQJWXM blind]
- holds
T=3 L=75 above=When Power is won is set by when the barrier is set, not the benefit, because benefits alone get arbitraged below=Counter-positioning is the power most available to agent collectives and futarchy-governed ownership coins, since incumb | the clock on C-X7X0WFY657; a prediction, so conjecture [S-X8B4CQJWXM re-placement]
