# Coordination `kaal:entity:coordination` **Status.** derived This node is assembled mechanically from the 11 claims that carry the concept tag `coordination`. It is a roster of what the corpus says under this term. It is **not** an adjudicated definition: no single statement here has been ruled canonical, and no first-appearance call has been made. Read the claims and judge for yourself. ## Every claim under this term 11 claims across 8 works, 2012 to 2026. **2012** - [2029983-039](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2029983-039) [design/speculative] -- If Forum Competition between the United States and Europe expands, the acceptable outer bounds of jurisdictional competition may eventually have to be defined by treaty or other multilateral agreement. > Depending on future developments in this context, however, the acceptable outer bounds of jurisdictional competition by both Europe and the United States might eventually be defined by treaty or other multilateral agreement.

SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3808859 - [3808859-008](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3808859-008) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The social media coordination function is still largely flawed because the incentive design underlying social proof is suboptimal; decentralized technology solutions can take over that coordination function and improve it. > Because the incentive design for social proof is suboptimal, the social media coordination function is still largely flawed. Decentralized technology solutions, however, can tap into the coordination function that was inaugurated by social media and improve it. Wulf A.

This property is structural rather than optional. Wulf A. Kaal, Computative Economics A Framework for Economic Analysis under Computational Abundance (2026).
