Pro-E.13 --- Response to Con-E.13 (Negative Feedback Loops)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Impact: E (Moderate) --- Resolved.*

This objection is absorbed by :ref:`Pro-A.1 <jub-pro11>` (the absorbing
CTMC model). Market corrections, democratic backlash, technological
disruption, and social mobility are all *negative feedback loops* that
produce the oscillatory behavior already accounted for in th8's proof
steps 3a–3c. They prevent monotonic BABL accumulation in the short
term.

But they do **not** prevent eventual catastrophe. Each correction is
a *downswing of the oscillation*, not a *structural fix* (change in
the underlying dynamics). After each correction, the same positive
feedback loops (concentration, political capture, network effects)
resume. The oscillation continues with amplifying stakes (nuclear
weapons, AI, ecological boundaries).

Minsky (1986) supports this reading: "stability breeds instability"
is precisely the claim that negative feedback loops (corrections) lead
to *complacency*, which leads to *weakened regulation*, which leads to
the *next and larger crisis*. Minsky's framework predicts amplifying
oscillations, not stable cycles — aligning with th8's prediction, not
the critique's.

**Why Impact E, not higher:** The argument correctly redirects to
Pro-A.1. The negative feedback loops are accounted for within the
oscillation model — they explain *why* the system oscillates rather
than monotonically degrading, but they do not prevent eventual
absorption.
