Coordination

Coordinate shared value without making capture easier than contribution.

Problem: Shared systems drift when readers cannot distinguish resource governance from incentive design.

Question: Are you governing a commons or changing what the system rewards?

Decision: Choose the method that matches the coordination failure.

The Spine

1. The Commons — govern a shared resource so the system replenishes what it draws.
2. Incentive Design — make contribution the strongest path to influence and capture structurally expensive.

Zoom Out

• Up: Practice — coordination is a reusable method within the Practice reader route.
• Next: Systems — model the feedback loops that reinforce cooperation or capture.

Changes my mind: the two child methods converge on the same reader decision or a third coordination job earns a distinct route.

Questions

Next question: Which coordination failure is not yet served by either child method?
