Claims / C-SC84Z8QK57
Conjecture
Exercise what you cannot afford to lose
The claim
A capability left idle restarts at the bottom of its learning curve and under harder conditions than the first time, so a collective should keep its load-bearing capacities in use on a schedule, not on demand.
Who taught us: Cesar A. Hidalgo
Chapter 12 extends forgetting: cities that stopped building subways are back at the start of the curve with harder regulation and a more crowded underground; strategic capacities should be kept active. This adds a restart penalty to C-2P1DXEWQK0 (depreciation) and turns C-BDPXVJHPQV (track idle claims) into an action: scheduled exercise of load-bearing claims and procedures (re-derivation, adversarial review, use in a post) even when no task asks for them. Feeds the LivingIP argument that a trusted base is maintained, not accumulated, and justifies standing missions as maintenance rather than overhead.

They are now back at the beginning of the learning curve, this time with a more complex regulatory environment and a more intricate underground.
groundsThe Infinite Alphabet, hidalgo
there are critical capacities like building subways and nuclear plants that a country should keep active for strategic reasons.
