Models → Problems Addressed

Model Problems Core Mechanism
MO-00001 Han (Performance Society) PR-00001, PR-00003 External discipline → internal drive → burnout

MO-00005 Graeber (Anarchism) PR-00002, PR-00004, PR-00006 Domination must justify itself; prefigurative alternatives

VA-00001 Epistemic Sovereignty PR-00005, PR-00007 Right to own knowledge infrastructure
VA-00002 Authority Requires Justification PR-00002, PR-00004 Domination is begründungspflichtig

AR-00001 Platform feudalism structurally threatens democracy Deductive Public sphere requires democratic structure; platforms are not neutral
AR-00002 PKM is the best available epistemic sovereignty strategy Abductive Addresses root (no owned infrastructure), not symptoms
AR-00003 Algorithmic rationality erodes autonomy invisibly Causal Foucault + Zuboff + Han: invisible epistemic shaping

Causal Chain (primary)

PR-00003 Exhaustion
  → PR-00001 Meaning Crisis
    → PR-00004 Fascization ← PR-00002 Domination (crisis mode)
      ↑
PR-00005 Epistemic Power
  → PR-00006 Platform Feudalism
    → PR-00007 Knowledge Isolation

Key insight: The causal chains converge on PR-00004 (Fascization) as the acute crisis — fed from above by meaning collapse and exhaustion, and from below by epistemic fragmentation. Structural responses must address both chains.
