Mobilization converts into regime-level pressure through institutional behavior, not crowd size alone.

Research graph · Cross-corpus evidence
Keep the qualifications attached.
Twelve synthesis claims connect the 21 original scenario/source reports. This graph is intentionally narrower than the 82-reader public library: it preserves the original scenario authority layer, while the site-wide relationship graph and topic hubs connect the expanded corpus. Edges distinguish support, qualification, transfer limits, threshold distinctions, and uncertainty so one report cannot silently flatten another.

Durable rival sovereignty requires compound institutional fracture across legal finality, command recognition, administration, finance, and off-ramps.

Qualifications
Tensions without false contradiction
These edges preserve scope limits that are easy to lose in short summaries.
TEN-001 · qualified by
historical rationale vs positive law
The corpus treats anti-tyranny ideas as historically significant while separately concluding that current law does not confer ordinary immunity for rebellion or unauthorized private military organization.
CLM-007 → CLM-007
TEN-002 · limits inference
foreign capability vs demonstrated effect
Evidence of sponsorship, coordination, reach, or technical capability is not by itself evidence that a political decision changed because of the operation.
CLM-006 → CLM-006
TEN-003 · raises uncertainty
legal command structure vs behavioral uncertainty
The legal architecture is comparatively knowable; behavior under an unprecedented rival-authority crisis remains much less certain.
CLM-004 → CLM-012
TEN-004 · limits transferability
civil-resistance success literature vs U.S. transferability
Comparative success rates and defection mechanisms illuminate pathways but do not supply a validated U.S. probability or participation threshold.
CLM-001 → CLM-012
TEN-005 · distinguishes threshold
state noncooperation vs rival sovereignty
Aggressive state resistance can remain inside constitutional federalism when common adjudication and institutional off-ramps still function.
CLM-002 → CLM-009
TEN-006 · distinguishes threshold
executive dominance vs regime transformation
Winning institutional battles or centralizing administration is not equivalent to durable regime replacement; the latter requires broader constraint failure.
CLM-005 → CLM-002
TEN-007 · qualified by
continuity survival vs cumulative degradation
Continuity can preserve legal existence and minimum functions while prolonged fiscal, staffing, supply, or communications degradation still accumulates meaningful damage.
CLM-003 → CLM-010
TEN-008 · constrained by
armed backstop theory vs outcome costs
Political theory about last-resort resistance does not establish tactical feasibility, legal immunity, civilian protection, or a beneficial post-conflict order.
CLM-007 → CLM-008
Open questions
What the corpus does not resolve
Uncertainty is part of the evidence model, not a blank to fill with confidence theater.
Q-001 · unresolved
What validated quantitative threshold, if any, marks transition from widespread political stress to durable competing sovereignty in the contemporary United States?
This remains an explicit research gap; the corpus does not supply a validated answer.
Q-002 · unresolved
How would unit-level security organizations actually behave under sustained, genuinely ambiguous civilian authority?
This remains an explicit research gap; the corpus does not supply a validated answer.
Q-003 · unresolved
How much observed foreign amplification converts into material changes in domestic institutional behavior?
This remains an explicit research gap; the corpus does not supply a validated answer.
Q-004 · unresolved
How quickly can multiple independent U.S. institutional systems recover a common authority chain after a prolonged compound crisis?
This remains an explicit research gap; the corpus does not supply a validated answer.
Q-005 · unresolved
How transferable are historical campaign success rates and foreign comparative cases to a contemporary federal constitutional democracy with U.S.-specific institutions?
This remains an explicit research gap; the corpus does not supply a validated answer.
Q-006 · unresolved
Which forms of institutional restoration persist after a crisis versus merely re-establish formal legality while leaving degraded capacity or trust?
This remains an explicit research gap; the corpus does not supply a validated answer.
