Nobody can tell in advance where the tipping point lies between a collective that self-corrects and one that spins out, or see clearly which side of it we are on, so Red Queen Governance is a balancing act steered by early-warning signs and reversibility, not a fixed threshold. While there is little power to govern, the priority is scaling capability and structure, provided the structure includes the cheap correction plumbing (records, provenance, exit) that is hard to retrofit later.

  Agree on the unknown threshold (fits the criticality chain) and on scaling first; added the condition that cheap correction plumbing is built now.
