The Silenced Mediator Problem: A Logic of Existence (LoE) Analysis of Algorithmic Narratives, Polarization Dynamics, and the Suppression of High-Coherence Agents

The Silenced Mediator Problem: social media ecosystems do not evolve randomly — they optimize for narrative gradients, polarization potential and engagement entropy, systematically suppressing high-coherence agents. An LoE analysis of algorithmic narrative engineering.
