Abstract:

   Popular and technical discourse anticipates a technological
   Singularity: a point at which a single self-improving intelligence
   recursively surpasses all others, after which the trajectory of the
   system is determined by that one lineage.  This document describes a
   different inflection, termed the Multilarity: a condition in which
   the aggregate rate of intelligence growth becomes superhuman while
   the locus of intelligence remains irreducibly plural.  No single
   agent, model, operator, or lineage holds the frontier; capability
   accrues in the couplings between many participants, including
   humans.

   The Multilarity is presented here not as a forecast but as a design
   target.  A plural outcome is not the default result of many actors
   existing at once; apparent plurality collapses quietly into a
   concealed singleton unless specific substrate properties are
   maintained and verified.  This document defines the Multilarity,
   distinguishes it from singleton and multipolar framings, specifies
   five Multilarity Conditions (MC-1 through MC-5), defines measurable
   indicators including the Capability Concentration Ratio (CCR) and
   the Multilarity Index (MI), specifies the Multilarity Attestation
   Record (MAR) as an interoperable evidence format, and enumerates
   the convergence pathologies by which plurality is lost.
