Claims (17)
- The price system serves as a generic template or abstract model for all cognitive gluesMeta-claim: price system generalizes; any cognitive glue must solve the same coordination problem
- Any cognitive glue must solve the same kind of problem that the price system solves in broadly the same way that the price system solves itNecessary condition for cognitive glues.
- Cognitive glues are shared models of relative scarcitiesCore thesis of the paper stated in the title.
- Shared models of relative scarcitiesCore claim: cognitive glues are shared models of relative scarcities; this is the paper's key interpretive assertion
- The price system acts as a coordinating affordance that enables members to form plans that are mutually compatibleSpecification of how the price system functions as cognitive glue.
- The price system is the cognitive glue of the economyIdentification of the price system as the coordinating mechanism for economic collective intelligence.
- Any cognitive glue must solve the relative-scarcity problem in fundamentally the same way the price system does.
- Cognitive glue describes substrate-level coordination; full 15 Properties describe aesthetic signature of the result.
- Cognitive glue must satisfy five formal conditions and nine required properties, working like a price system.
- Cognitive glues are universal coordination affordances solving the same problem across substrates.
- Cognitive glues must possess nine universal properties: control, goal-encoding, counterfactuals, mnemonic improvisation, prepatterns, hijackability, scaling, erasure, credit assignment.
- Convergence on constraints across substrates happens because each develops cognitive glue satisfying the same coordination properties.
- ReflectiveBench should be designed as cognitive glue using Lyons-Levin's 5-condition and 9-property spec.
- Structural dharma is implemented by cognitive glues that satisfy specific universal properties.
- The Bodhisattva vow is a scaling-goals architecture where unbounded goal-space forces agents to operate by care rather than completion.
- The price system is the cognitive glue of the economy, solving relative-scarcity tracking analogous to bioelectrical binding.
- The price system, bioelectricity, and pattern language are three substrates' answers to the same coordination problem.
