2. The claim, in full

The remedy convergence. Nine independent sources — Gnostic, Johannine, Jung, Orwell, Girard, Havel, Kuran, Asch, Levy — arrive at one conclusion: the mechanism is disabled by being seen.

3. What it rests on

No confidence intervals are recorded for any figure in this block.

4. Sources

5. Counter-evidence

6. Why this grade

One member of the nine is experimentally demonstrated with an effect size, a replication history, and a meta-analysis including its limits. Eight are testimonial.

The Asch result is the reason this is not SPECULATIVE: it shows the mechanism's central prediction holding under laboratory control, with the specific and counterintuitive detail that the dissenter need not be correct. That detail is what the testimonial sources also claim — Havel's greengrocer changes no policy — and its independent confirmation in 1956 is the strongest single piece of evidence the framework holds on remedy.

It is not ESTABLISHED because the claim is general — that recognition disables the mechanism — and the demonstration is specific to public conformity under unanimity. The gap between those is not closed.

The register defines PROBABLE as: Well supported, but an interpretation or connection across sources rather than something a source states directly.

7. Correction history

No correction events are recorded. The entry's status is ACTIVE: no later entry amends, supersedes or withdraws it.

8. Related observations

No related observations are linked in the register.

9. Where this appears on the site

Content pages that cite this observation inline:

Pages citing a source this observation rests on: /psycho-vulgarism, /the-hive-mind, /historic-warnings, /your-duty, /judaism, /the-body-of-7, /the-great-work, /the-secret-teachings.

10. Open questions

What would strengthen it
an Asch-design study using identity-relevant rather than perceptual stimuli; a test of whether the effect holds when the dissent is encountered in text rather than in person, which is the condition this site actually operates under.
What would falsify it
demonstration that recognition of the mechanism does not reduce its operation in the individual; evidence that naming it produces reactance or entrenchment rather than release.

John 9:39-41: those who acknowledge blindness are not held culpable; those who claim sight are — the claim IS the condition. Jung, Aion CW 9ii para 126: what is not made conscious is acted out externally as fate. Orwell: doublethink requires the process to remain unconscious of itself. Girard: the scapegoat mechanism requires belief in the victim's guilt and cannot survive participants understanding what they are doing. Havel: the greengrocer who removes the sign changes no policy but demonstrates the game is a game. Kuran: preference falsification collapses when private preferences become common knowledge, which is why such collapses are sudden and unforeseen. Levy: the moment wetiko is recognised it begins to lose power."

Under unanimous social pressure, about 37% of critical-trial responses conformed, and about 75% conformed at least once. When a single confederate broke ranks, conformity fell to about 5% — a reduction of roughly 80%. And the dissenter did not need to be right: conformity collapsed even when the lone dissenter gave a DIFFERENT wrong answer.
