StatusUnavailable — filed 2026-10-29 from the triage of the day, not read. A lawful full text was sought on 2026-10-29 and not reached. OpenAlex reports it closed, with the University of Chicago Press DOI and PubMed as its only locations, and Semantic Scholar reports no open copy. The publisher's page returned a 403 challenge. Searches found no copy on the authors' pages: Jessica Flack's old SFI site (sites.santafe.edu/~jflack/) says "This website is no longer available", the Collective Computation Group's publication list (c4.santafe.edu/c4pubs/) did not resolve for this client, David Krakauer's current site lists recent papers only, and the Emory Living Links reprint directory that held the authors' Nature paper of 2006 now returns 404. web.archive.org reset every connection, so no capture of any of these could be checked. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied. No NOTE is filed.

Why this is here

CLAIM-327 separates three stages of a slow collective variable: an observer finds it, members read and use it, and their use regenerates it. Its note of 2026-10-29 found that Flack 2012 (LIT-1122, NOTE-1351) shows only the first and asserts the second from earlier studies. This is the earliest of them: the study that builds the power measure from the signalling network and relates it to how others solicit and accept intervention. Whether stage 2 has evidence, members conditioning on the consensus rather than on the signals themselves, turns on its methods. CLAIM-331, on levels as slower variables, cites the same line of work.
