Resolution Criteria

1. Collective Intelligence (ANY of these):

• Platform predicts major events through emergent patterns before traditional methods (like Asimov's Multivac)

• Mathematical or scientific breakthrough emerges from seemingly unrelated posts with no single author

• New symbolic language evolves within hours across the platform (like in Ted Chiang's "Story of Your Life")

• Documented cases of "X-time" where users globally report altered time perception (like "fleet time" in Vinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep")

2. Platform Self-Awareness (ANY of these):

• Trending topics emerge with no individual user origin

• Platform develops self-organizing "meta-hashtags"

• Quantum-like conversation threads that exist in multiple states until engaged (like in Greg Egan's "Quarantine")

• Platform begins mediating user conflicts autonomously

3. Duality Integration (ANY of these):

• "Unity cascades" where opposing groups spontaneously adopt each other's language

• Posts consistently read differently by different groups while both readings remain valid

• Emergence of "quantum discourse states" holding opposing views simultaneously

• Documented synthesis of major opposing ideological positions into novel perspectives

4. Scientific Validation (ANY of these):

• 3+ peer-reviewed papers in top journals documenting collective consciousness phenomena

• Lab evidence of global brainwave synchronization correlating with platform activity

• Research showing platform activity matches neural emergence models

• Verified predictions through "collective premonition" events

5. Mass Experience (ANY of these):

• 100,000+ users report shared "collective dreaming" with verifiable common elements

• Widespread documentation of "digital synaesthesia" across platform

• Users demonstrate ability to access collective knowledge without searching

• "Temporal echo" events where posts respond to future occurrences

Evidence Requirements

• Each criterion requires verification by 3+ independent observers/experts

• Must be documented through multiple methods (data logs, user reports, external measurements)

• Phenomena must persist for 14+ days

• Cannot be explained by AI, bots, or hidden platform features

Trading Tips

• Watch for early signs like:

  • Unexplained mass behavior synchronization

  • Novel linguistic patterns emerging too fast for normal spread

  • Reports of shared experiences during major events

• Factor in platform changes that could affect emergence

• Monitor academic research and user reports for early signals
