Sovereignty Dilution
The process by which over-pursuing energy extraction lowers the threshold for Perceptual Legibility, causing an irreversible loss of Meaning Tension.
Mechanism
Distinct from the Legibility Trap in causal direction: here, the pressure originates in ES (a push for near-term yield) and works backward through PL to damage MT, rather than PL expansion happening first on its own. Considered the most severe and often irreversible damage mechanism in this framework, because by the time it is visible in reported margins, the underlying symbolic capital has already been spent.
No registry case has yet been matched to this pattern with confidence. Definition only, until real evidence supports a specific example.
