The report's scoring method for elite feuds: instead of labeling a fight 'real' or 'staged', each is rated on four independent dials — how real the conflict is, how aligned the players' underlying interests are, whether outcomes change either way, and how much misdirection is present — and all four can be high at once.
[Report #112 — Fault Lines] Each feud scored on realism / substrate-alignment / outcome-invariance / misdirection — independent dials that can all be high at once. 'Kayfabe' and 'open war' are corners, not categories; most feuds live in the messy middle.
A feud scored as real war: actual lawsuits, a $60B acquisition, and orbital capital spending — genuine money that cannot be recovered. The dossier notes that high realism does not cancel the other dial: outcomes may still favor the same class either way.
[Report #112 — Fault Lines] Real lawsuits, $60B Cursor buy, orbital capex; genuine non-recoverable capital. High realism — which does NOT cancel the cartel's outcome-invariance dial.
A fight the dossier scores real and consequential: regulatory battles, a $66.8B NextEra-Dominion merger, and nuclear plant restarts partitioning the power grid for private data-fortresses. Documented and structurally disruptive.
[Report #112 — Fault Lines] FERC fights, $66.8B NextEra-Dominion merger, nuclear restarts partitioning the grid for private data-fortresses. Documented, structurally disruptive.
A feud the dossier scores high on misdirection — and backs that score with a specific private link (a Tether-Cantor loan loop, and kompromat feeding automated surveillance), not merely the weak argument of shared index-fund ownership.
[Report #112 — Fault Lines] Misdirection backed by a SPECIFIC private link (Tether-Cantor loan loop; kompromat->automated surveillance), not just shared index funds.
A re-graded feud: this rivalry is not flat theater — shared funding proves shared class interests, but that does not make the fight fake. The dossier scores it a real positional war inside one club.
[Report #112 — Fault Lines] NOT flat 'kayfabe': shared funding proves shared class-interest (substrate dial), it does not make the fight fake. Real positional war within one club (per #197).
The discipline card: the fact that BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street passively co-own the combatants feeds only the shared-interest and outcome dials — it is never allowed to produce a 'staged' verdict. No master hand is named.
[Report #112 — Fault Lines] Passive index co-ownership (BlackRock/Vanguard/State Street) feeds the substrate + outcome-invariance dials ONLY — never a 'staged' verdict. No master hand named; no apex move.
