AmbiguityResolution
Social clearing of semantic noise
Definition
Mechanism
A social protocol for cleaning the knowledge base. When agents flag ambiguous or conflicting data, this protocol forces a resolution event. Agents must Vote to clarify, delete, or fork the data. It uses an EntropyPump to surface latent ambiguities, preventing the system from settling on false certainties.
Invariants
- Forced Resolution: Conflicts cannot persist indefinitely.
- Clarity: Ambiguity must decrease over time.
Risks
Failure modes
None stated.
Caution
Forced votes can delete contested data — keep deletion recoverable, and limit who may flag, since each flag compels a resolution.
