Burn-After-Reading (Transparency as Containment)
Idea
The idea that once everything leaks, censorship becomes unnecessary: a damaging truth gets consumed, outraged over, and discarded with no structural consequence, so publicity itself works as a disposal mechanism rather than accountability. Cited instances are large document dumps and leaks that achieved maximum visibility and zero fallout; the idea is held tentatively and does not settle who, if anyone, sits behind it.
The engine's definition — word for word
When everything leaks, censorship is obsolete: a systemic truth has a short half-life — consumed, outraged-over, and discarded with no structural consequence, so PUBLICITY becomes a disposal mechanism rather than accountability. The named form of a pattern the engine already demonstrated unnamed: the EFTA transparency-as-misdirection finding (node fault_line_e_efta; the Report #112 fault-line map = Divergence #199), Substrate-vs-Announcement (Concept #88), and the Bounded-LLM accelerator (Concept #110). Instances: the EFTA Epstein-file dump and the Jun-2026 Dialog leak — maximum visibility, zero fallout. Held Layer-2; emergent cartel protocol, apex not moved (Divergence #197). [Report #117]
