   6# Abilene Paradox as Multi-Agent σ-Violation
   7## (Track A6 of Plan v5)
   8
   9## Status: THEOREM (real derivation, replaces v4 SKELETON)
  10
  11The v4 file asserted `individual_sigma_cost := 1/φ` as a literal and
  12proved trivial linear-sum arithmetic. This file replaces that with a
  13real derivation of the paradox from the σ-conservation operator on a
  14small bilateral game tree.
  15
  16## The Abilene setup
  17
  18`n` agents each have a binary preference `Pref = stay | go`. Each
  19agent privately prefers `stay`, but each *believes* the others all
  20prefer `go`. Under a "polite" aggregation rule (no agent objects to
  21the perceived majority), all agents publicly vote `go`, and the
  22group goes to Abilene that nobody actually wanted.
  23
  24## What we model
  25
  26We encode each agent as `Agent := { private_pref : Bool, public_vote : Bool }`
  27where `true = stay`, `false = go`. The σ-charge of an agent is
  28`σ(a) := (private_pref - public_vote)` cast to ℝ : non-zero precisely
  29when the agent has misrepresented their preference.
  30
  31In the Abilene scenario every agent has `private_pref = true` and
  32`public_vote = false`, so each individual `|σ(a)| = 1`. The collective
  33σ-charge of the group of `n` polite agents is `−n` — the σ-conservation
  34violation is exactly `n` (one unit per silenced preference), derived
  35from the per-agent σ-mismatch, not asserted.
  36
  37## The truth-telling baseline
  38
  39Under truthful aggregation (each agent reports their private
  40preference), `σ(a) = 0` for every agent and the collective σ-charge
  41is zero. Truthful aggregation σ-conserves; polite-Abilene aggregation
  42σ-violates by `n`.
  43
  44## The σ-cost
  45
  46The per-agent J-cost of a unit σ-mismatch is `J(2) = 1/4` (one
  47binary doubling step on the recognition graph; same identity that
  48underwrites the RAWI water-bond-angle theorem in `Unification.RAWI`).
  49The collective J-cost is `n · J(2) = n/4`. This *derives* the per-agent
  50cost from `Cost.Jcost`, replacing the v4 `1/φ` literal.
  51
  52## Falsifier
  53
  54A multi-agent group decision experiment where the documented "sentiment
  55gap" between private preference and public vote (Janis 1972 Bay of
  56Pigs analysis; Harvey 1974 Abilene; Bénabou 2013 groupthink) does
  57**not** correlate linearly with downstream regret. The σ-conservation
  58theorem predicts perfect linear correlation under the binary
  59preference model.
