Re-proving requires coordination to appear credible; coordination requires permission to proceed; waiting extends the re-proving cycle; all three signals absorbed by the validation-permission loop.

Coordination and mediation together constitute a permission architecture; waiting sustains both processes; all three opportunity-absorbing mechanisms reinforce each other.

Incumbents extract value while functioning as permission gatekeepers; waiting for permission delays autonomous actor formation; incumbent centrality reinforces the permission architecture that sustains extraction.

Coordination routes through incumbents as primary nodes; waiting for incumbent-sanctioned decisions sustains the coordination requirement; incumbent authority reinforced by being the node through which coordination and permission flow.

Coordination delays structural response to extraction by converting it into a process task; waiting delays autonomous actor formation; extraction continues while coordination and permission-seeking absorb both response capacity and opportunity signals.

Re-proving generates narrative material; narrative legitimises continued waiting for external validation; waiting extends the re-proving cycle; all three signals absorbed simultaneously making the system appear active while deferring commitment.

Activity scaling absorbs immediate pressure while waiting for permission; the waiting period provides time for further activity to accumulate; both pressure and opportunity absorbed without requiring conversion or autonomous action.

Value extraction events generate narrative about ecosystem success; narrative legitimises continued extraction by framing it as ecosystem contribution; uncertainty about whether extraction is harmful absorbed by the success narrative.
