KPI Circular Trap and Spiral Escape via Decentralized Learning Pipelines (v1.0 – Canonical Release)

This record represents a growth-oriented institutional artifact rather than a finalized research conclusion.

The work defines the KPI Circular Trap as a self-referential productivity loop driven by low-resolution consensus metrics, and proposes a spiral escape mechanism via decentralized learning pipelines connecting OCW, AI-assisted sensemaking, and DAO-based validation.

Its central contribution is the introduction of CIFF (Continuous Integration for Fundamental Freedom), a verification apparatus designed to distinguish human-sovereign knowledge production from autonomous AI generation through asymmetry-based analysis.

Version 1.0 constitutes the canonical baseline of this system.
Future versions are expected to negate, restructure, or supersede parts of this work while preserving the non-negative growth condition dχ/dt ≥ 0.
