Mechanism
The organisation gathers more signals while the source adapts what it shows to the observer.
Enabling conditions
- Intent cannot be verified directly
- Signals can be produced cheaply
Failure modes
- Statements become proof of intent
- One scenario consumes all options
Early signals
- • Evidence comes mostly from the interested actor
- • Commitments remain reversible only for one side
Countermeasures
- • Maintain competing intent models
- • Preserve reversible options
Diagnostic questions
- 1.What would make this signal costly?
- 2.Which actions remain useful across models?
