ITU Tier 1+ #39: Politics + Governance (K_politics)

Tier 1+ Pass-1.5 paper 39 of 45. ITU-derived politics + governance on state + election + party + policy + diplomacy. Acemoglu-Robinson 2024 Nobel + Trump 2024.11.5 + V-Dem backsliding. Defines K_politics = -log ρ_politics as the operator-algebraic modular Hamiltonian on H_state ⊗ H_election ⊗ H_party ⊗ H_policy ⊗ H_diplomacy. K_politics inherits from K_QG via the CLPW 2023 type II crossed-product specialised to this scale. Numerical results. Acemoglu-Robinson 10-country toy model: USA (I=0.85) vs DRC (I=0.15) -> 6133x GDP toy-model divergence (real-world ~50-60x; Nogales 5x). Polarization 1980-2024: separation 0.30->1.80 (6x), Ashman bimodality D 0.42->3.39 (crossed threshold ~2010 Tea Party), compromise overlap 44%->11%. Topics covered.
