ASSEMBLY-WP-0004-T02 (link signs and dependencies). Base: GADM-0.1
(GenerativeAssemblyDynamicsModel.md). Links marked "0.2" are the information-

# GADM Causal Structure — Causal-Loop Diagram and Link Table
**Status:** v0.1 for GADM-0.1 plus the GADM-0.2 additions, exploratory.
## 1. Causal-loop diagram
Solid arrows are GADM-0.1. Dotted arrows are the GADM-0.2 organism
additions. Edge labels give the polarity: `+` means same direction, `−` means
opposite direction.

## 2. Loops
| ID | Type | Path | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | reinforcing | X → V → V_sel → X | **Generative reuse.** Commons enable experiments, and selected experiments become commons. Strength depends on ρ. |
| R2 | reinforcing | V_sel → K → Y* → I → D → σ → V_sel | **Demand-backed growth.** Works only while claims stay broad. |
| R3 | reinforcing | V_sel → P (private return) → P (network effects) | **Success becomes control** (GADM-0.1 § 13). Path closure when unchecked. |
| R4 | reinforcing | Y* → I → G → V → V_sel → K → Y* | **Agency-backed growth.** Existence security widens who can attempt. |
| R5 | reinforcing | G → S → D → σ → V_sel → K → Y* → I → G | **Cohesion.** Legitimate participation sustains demand and selection. |
| R6 | reinforcing | X → Q → V → V_sel → X | **Epistemic commons.** Open evidence improves the experiments that feed the commons. |
| R7 (0.2) | reinforcing | K_Ω → K_Ω (learning with use) | **Organism learning.** Organisms improve fastest where they are used most. |
| R8 (0.2) | reinforcing | K_Ω → P → G, S → D → V_sel → K_Ω | **Lineage concentration.** Combined with R7, this is the natural-monopoly loop of the mapping note's open question 1. |
| B1 | balancing | P → V → V_sel → P (private return) | **Domination throttles its own source.** High P shrinks experimentation, which slows the success that feeds P. Weak relative to R3. |
| B2 | balancing | K → E → Y* → I → D → V_sel → K | **Ecological limit.** Throughput erodes headroom and caps output. |
| B3 | balancing | V → Q → V (when V > Q) | **Epistemic brake.** Experimentation that outruns model correction degrades Q, which slows V (GADM-0.1 § 15). |
| B4 | balancing | Q → P → Q (checks) | **Accountability.** Epistemic capacity checks domination, and domination captures information. In the model, a reinforcing pair in disguise: whichever wins compounds. |
| B5 (0.2) | balancing | K_Ω → A → σ → V_sel → K_Ω | **Attention limit.** Extraction depletes the attention that adoption and selection need. |
| B6 (0.2) | balancing | K_Ω → I (labor share) → D → V_sel → K_Ω | **Demand erosion.** Automation without broad claims undermines its own demand. |
## 3. Link table
`Conf.` is confidence in the sign: **H** (stated in GADM-0.1 or definitional),
**M** (plausible, inferred from GADM text), **L** (contested). `Src.` is the
source section in GADM-0.1, or the mapping note (`MN`).

### Contested links (Conf. L)
- **#33.** GADM-0.1 states the damage hypothesis qualitatively. GADM-0.2
implements it as a degradation of Q proportional to `max(0, V − Q)`. The
threshold form is a modeling choice.
- **#40, #41, #46.** The sign depends on institutional levers. GADM-0.2 makes
this explicit: membrane control `m` and explainability `expl` switch the
dominant sign.
- **#49.** Not in either source. Introduced so that precarity reduces
attention headroom. Needs empirical grounding (WS-14).
