MM b/20 — Paper b20: Work-Logic Cascades and Global Infrastructure#

Matheo-b20 extends the SGIR pandemic modeling framework to address institutional and infrastructural challenges. The paper analyzes why coordination failed during COVID-19 through work-logic cascades — organizational frameworks showing how individual decisions about virus defense amplify through social structures to produce population-level effects.

The analysis reveals that pandemic defense is fundamentally a logistics problem: biological knowledge for reducing transmission existed early, but organizational infrastructure for coordinated action did not. The paper proposes Virodefense Olympics as annual competitive exercises to maintain pandemic readiness, and ResearchCity as distributed research infrastructure addressing multiple existential challenges through the $8-per-person global funding model.

  • Original context: Developed as companion analysis to SGIR pandemic modeling within the STa2-WWV stadium framework

  • Institutional evolution: The 2020-2026 development period reflects the discovery that pandemic coordination failures are part of a broader pattern affecting all existential challenges

  • Migration rationale: Moved to HEAVEN series alongside Matheo-b19 for navigation accessibility while preserving thematic integration with broader governance framework
