Information Asymmetry Trap: Epistemic Collapse, Cognitive Capture, and the Signal Starvation of AGI — Formal Dynamical Model v2.0

Work 19 formalizes the Information Asymmetry Trap (Civilizational Trap #10) as a 7-dimensional dynamical system and establishes its role as THE SIGNAL LAYER of the entire Omega-u Framework. Version 2.2.3 achieves full coherence with Work 20 v2.2 (UNIFIED_MASTER_THEOREM, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19630151). Key advances: (1) Signal(X) = SQI(X) = T_i*(1-A_s)(1-E_b) is the global binding constraint for all Works 15-20 — when Signal < 0.10, G[K] -> 0 regardless of compute, H_social, or institutional quality; (2) O_eff(X) = T_i(1-A_s) is the observability subset; (3) G[K] = G_computeH_socialSignal(X) is the W20-unified AGI production formula; (4) V_obs singularity removed — quadratic form G_OBS*max(0, target-O_eff)^2 per W20 PATCH_2; (5) THEOREM_CONTROL_BREAKDOWN rewritten: loss of observability triggers DLF_INFEASIBLE in W20 phase atlas, not classical HJB singularity; (6) THEOREM_INFORMATION_LAYER_COMPATIBILITY replaces local MASTER_THEOREM_V19. Empirical 2025: Russia SQI=0.3% (epistemic void), China SQI=1.7% (opacity lock), USA SQI=8.6% (noisy critical), Kazakhstan SQI=19.3% (intervention window), EU SQI=27.4% (stable declining). Work 19 is the correction layer for all Works 15-18 — without Signal correction, all previous assessments use corrupted inputs. Verified: 27/27 tests. TRL 4.
