Argument-of-Progress Collective (LM-Dawn class)

Class card for collective and community-of-practice forms that treat "progress" not as a singular global teleology (MM Fiat Progress logic) but as a locally-negotiated, contested, plural proposition — an argument OF progress, argued from and toward specific bioregional, cultural, and communal criteria. Canonical instances: deliberative municipal foresight assemblies (participatory technology-assessment boards, citizens' assemblies on infrastructure/AI), civic juries on technology adoption (Irish Citizens' Assembly model applied to digital and climate infrastructure), capture-aware sociotechnical design collectives (participatory design labs, tech-crit co-ops, platform cooperativism assemblies), and community-scale regenerative development councils that hold their own "progress proposition" and validate it against lived bioregional and cultural criteria. Wave-6 inverter logic (§1.2(b)): MM fiat_progress_credibility decayed from ~0.85 peak (1800-1950) to ~0.05 by 2025 because Progress as monolithic pull-motor failed — it could no longer be "operated with a straight face" (Rao, DM II). The LM design inversion is not a rejection of progress as concept but a structural disaggregation: each collective holds its own "progress proposition," argued locally, contested between collectives, never handed down from a singular authority. capture_resistance_index is the central invariant — the machine is compromised the moment any single Progress narrative is treated as non-negotiable or imposed from outside the collective's deliberative process. DISTINCT from machine:argument-of-progress-public-class (the public- sphere institution framing, Wave-0 enumeration, operates at broader societal scope through media/discourse). This card = the collective / community-of-practice form: smaller, embedded, bioregionally grounded, deliberately resistant to capture by any single narrative. The deliberative-institution lineage (Quaker consensus, cooperative democratic practice) and the technical-memory of foresight protocols (scenario planning, Delphi method, futures-literacy facilitation) are both lineage substrates — hence lineage_substrate=hybrid. Commodity-null workaround per embedded constraints: deliberation-hours, civic-jury-verdicts, foresight-scenarios-published, contested-progress- propositions, and capture-attempts-deflected are not in the Smil enum — all are marked commodity=null with [STUB] in the field description. All quantitative state-variable values are [EXTRAP]; framing is [CANON-def] per Wave-0 argument-of-progress logic + Wave-6 inverter. confidence band 0.30-0.40 per embedded constraints (LM-Dawn early- stage; no empirical cohort exists at planetary scale yet).
