The Human Intelligence Debt Dilemma: A Game-Theoretic Account of Why Rational Agents Build Irrational Architectures
This document is a field notes paper : a structured conceptual contribution grounded in direct practitioner observation, prior to formal empirical validation. It extends the framework introduced in Human Intelligence Debt: A Socio-Technical Metric for Measuring the Human Cost of Imperfect Data Flows and developed in The Harvester Multiplication Problem . Readers unfamiliar with the core definitions — Human Intelligence Contribution Ratio (HICR), Human Intelligence Contribution Target (HICT), and Human Intelligence Debt (HID) — are encouraged to read those papers first. The next stage of this series will be a working paper developing the measurement methodology and a preregistered empirical research protocol; empirical results will follow instrument validation.

hypothesis
A consolidation may reduce application count while increasing coordination work; the net effect needs its own measurement.
→ The Attribution Gap and Capability Loss
analogy only
The attribution ratchet sharpens one incentive mechanism behind architectural complexity: blame remains attached to the source while credit is captured downstream.

hypothesis
The second-order HID programme can extend the incentive question by testing how contribution recognition and withdrawal rights change feasible collective outcomes.
