Conjecture

Capital allocation is the right first domain because its error signal is external, fast and expensive to fake, not because it is the most general. A collective that grades its own work can corrupt the work and the check together, and a check against fixed ground truth is what survives. Markets supply exactly that: a price arrives whether or not we like it. The ordering principle generalises as a rule for choosing any next domain, which is to enter domains in ascending order of how easy they are to self-deceive in.
