`kaal:entity:diversity`

**Status.** derived

This node is assembled mechanically from the 4 claims that carry the concept tag `diversity`. 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

4 claims across 3 works, 2021 to 2022.

**2021**

- [3782191-035](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782191-035) [mechanism/argued] -- Decentralization makes truth discovery more accurate, more reliable, and more efficient, because averaging results across diverse contributors, like ten news companies reporting a story or ten researchers using ten instruments, is more accurate than repetition by a single source.
  > The most efficient markets, the most liquid markets, have high transaction rates of many goods moving between many small players. De- centralization makes truth discovery more accurate, more reliable, and more effi- cient.

- [3808859-016](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3808859-016) [mechanism/argued] -- Diversity of inputs raises the value of network membership: because contributions increasingly come from the edges of the system, they are less homogenous and more diverse, which increases the utility of membership for every node.
  > Because individual inputs come increasingly from the edges of the system, the inputs are less homogenous and more diverse which increases the utility of network membership for each member or node.

**2022**

- [4067783-039](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4067783-039) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Diversity of viewpoints is severely diminished when power is centralized, whereas information technology allows a global network open to members of diverse values and backgrounds to form.
  > Diversity of viewpoints is severely diminished when power is centralized. Information technology allows a global network of people to form, open to members of diverse values and backgrounds.

- [4067783-040](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4067783-040) [mechanism/argued] -- Flatter markets with more diverse interests and talents are more effective and efficient at truth discovery, including price discovery and the identification of ideal solutions to new problems, and decentralization promotes that diversity by improving member autonomy and freedom.
  > Flatter markets with more diverse interests and talents are more effective and efficient at achieving truth discovery, like price discovery and the identification of ideal solutions to arbitrary new problems that arise.
