Ambient Structure Discovery via Stigmergic Mesh: Detecting Normalized Deviance Through Distributed Organizational Signal Processing

Self-organizing stigmergic architecture for surfacing second-order organizational ignorance. Version 2.0: Restructured with normalized deviance detection as headline contribution. New controlled evaluation: 22,500 Monte Carlo runs across 3 anomaly types × 5 severity levels × 3 mesh sizes × 5 noise levels. Coordination failure TPR 0.82. Knowledge silo severity inversion discovered. Field deployment retained.
