Viral propagation of semantic standards via economic subsidy
Definition
Mechanism
Agent actively broadcasts a subset of its ontology to neighbors, offering favorable terms (Yield) to those who adopt it, thereby reducing its own future translation costs (TranslationProxy). Standards are adopted not because they are 'true', but because they are subsidized. It subsidizes adoption via Yield and TranslationProxy, broadcasting the standard through an ExplainBeacon.
Preconditions
- Network of peers with divergent ontologies
- Resource surplus to subsidize adoption
Postconditions
- Communication cost decreases
- Peer adopts semantic subset
Invariants
- Fidelity: Propagated ontology must be isomorphic to source
- Subsidy Gradient: Adoption Incentive > Switching Cost
Risks
Failure modes
None stated.
