Salt b18 --- ResearchCity Institutional Design
***********************************************************************

This crystal collects all adversarial exchanges about the practical design of
ResearchCity --- the proposed institution for implementing the framework. This
is the largest crystal, reflecting the breadth of institutional design
challenges.

**Status summary**: One-person-one-room design avoids megaproject curse
(PRO b37). Knowledge stays local by design via ReRaft (PRO b38). Seven
safeguards address power concentration (PRO b39). Stage 0 dissolves
bootstrapping paradox (PRO b40). Paradigm diversity enforced three ways
(PRO b41). Credibility builds incrementally (PRO b42). Succession plan is
built into the design (PRO b43).

**Related crystals**: :ref:`hell-salt-b16` (voluntariness and game theory
affect institutional design), :ref:`hell-salt-b13` (existential risk motivates
the institution).
