The thread does not ask for another pass over whether Moloch, Goodhart, and inadequate equilibria form a cascade. Keep the recorded cases — Maine lobster Zone Councils, Törbel and Valencia irrigation, NHS England's four-hour A&E histograms, Britain's post-1979 union density versus social-spending path. Do not treat Ostrom-style nesting/monitoring/sanctions as a rival of "change what gets selected." Sanctions change payoffs; Ostrom, Walker and Gardner (APSR 1992) compare communication, sanctions, and both. The live question is who can revise the rules, who monitors, who can impose consequences, and at what scale that works. Those differences can change a build. "Councils versus changing selection" does not.
