Correction should leave a trail.

Ideas can be renamed, narrowed, merged or superseded without being erased. Historical objects preserve what changed, why it changed and where the current research boundary moved.

Displaced Scarcity Hypothesis

Prior-art review found strong antecedents in bottleneck, complementarity, attention, limiting-factor and induced-demand economics. The law formulation was therefore withdrawn and retained only as a narrower, falsifiable organizing hypothesis pending formalization.

Conceptual Active Frontier

Evidence-led Active Frontier

The public frontier drifted away from the work actually consuming scarce attention. Attention Allocation had become the strongest falsifiable empirical programme, software/leadership capability duplicated the broader Personal Capability Practice, and Nemosyne needed an explicit independent-project boundary. The frontier was therefore realigned to one empirical programme, one capability practice and one bounded external testbed.
