Larger populations independently converge on the same category systems; scale drives convergence rather than fragmentation.
The book’s stance. Bears on compression-widens-latitude and myth-reach-determinacy-tradeoff. Pressure-tests: scale produces convergence of categories, the reverse sign of the dilution loop, which the book must answer. Quote-backed supports/pressureTests edges pending extraction of the source PDF.
