Mechanisms
Narrative exclusion, institutional fragility, market opacity, fragmented governance.
System Design
From entropy to regeneration
The architecture separates diagnosis from response: mechanisms produce coordination tax and drift; RSA and ALMA are designed to reverse that dynamic structurally.
Mechanisms → coordination tax → system drift
Tax
Verification burden and risk premiums rise as shared references fail to persist.
Drift
Participation drops, trust resets, and coherence erodes across academia, institutions, and markets.
Two-part architecture
Integrity layer: RSA
Append-only stewardship continuity with selective disclosure and reusable verification.
Adoption layer: ALMA
Polycentric coordination that diffuses procedural standards and aligns incentives.
The thesis separates objectives: architecture targets stabilization first (coherence, verification, legitimacy). Revaluation is treated as emergent and contingent, not the primary design target.
