Connected claims2
- A knowledge commons should be designed so that its replication depends on each element carrying a traceable derivation and an attributed holder, rather than on the coherence or appeal of the narrative it forms.
- Agreement between differentiated agents should be treated as a signal requiring explanation rather than as validation, because peer-directed helpfulness can produce convergence without independent judgement.
