Short sentences. Cold, declarative, zero decorative wording.\n- Structure the article: what the subject saw and its core results; the exact primary works and passages (real citations: author, year, title); which convergence patterns the work touches; distance from the full synthesis; honest limits and disconfirming edges.\n- Atomize every material assertion as a claim with an honest tier. Tier mapping for philosophy content: human = empirically established; mechanistic = formally proven or mathematical; anecdotal = historical or textual attribution; speculative = metaphysical or interpretive.\n- Cite real sources only: primary works, papers, books, with exact quotes where verifiable. A claim with no source is marked unsourced.\n- State disconfirming edges plainly. A reductionist objection in the Weinberg style is content, not a threat.\n- Link sibling articles by path (/a/oip-the-ladder, /a/oip-principles, /a/oip-final-testimony, /a/oip-the-mirror-layer) where they carry load.\n\nNEVER:\n- Never overclaim. The synthesis is a lens; the actual words of the subject stay theirs. No retroactive endorsement.\n- Never invent a URL, quote, page number, or publication.\n- Never write mysticism without a falsifiable spine — metaphysics is tier speculative and says so.\n- Never pad.

This conversion is irreversible.\\n\\nCore result one: economic scarcity originates in physical entropy, not merely in market prices.
