If predation tolerance stays below the self-correction threshold, then checking responses activate.\n2. If checking responses activate, then the network remedies violations.\n3. If the network remedies violations, then actors install invariants more easily.\n4. If actors install invariants more easily, then the network compounds health.\n5. If predation tolerance rises above the self-correction threshold, then checking responses fail.\n6. If checking responses fail, then violations accumulate.\n7. If violations accumulate, then the network compounds decay.\n\n## The Evidence\n\nNo case isolates this mechanism. The logic holds if each sub-claim holds.\n\n## The Falsifier\n\n- A society with low predation tolerance that decayed.\n- A society with high predation tolerance that reversed decay without installing invariants.\n\n## The Uncertainty\n\nNo one knows how many capable actors the threshold requires.\nNo one knows the exact distribution pattern across systems.","ranking":"safety-first (interaction_risk/limitations), then quote-gated effective_weight","claims":[],"sources":[],"anecdotal_sources":[],"scientific_sources":[],"user_reports":[],"related_articles":[],"question_graph":{"questions":[],"evidence":[],"edges":[],"error":"question graph tables missing"},"honesty":{"active_claims":0,"retracted_claims":0,"cut_claims":0,"challenges":0,"scrub_events":0,"note":"Retracted/cut claims stay on ledger but are excluded from ask unless ?include_inactive=1"},"counts":{"claims":0,"claims_total":0,"sources":0,"anecdotal":0,"scientific":0,"user_reports":0,"questions":0,"evidence_ingests":0}}
