Induced-Obsolescence Dependence: Synthetic Capacity, Pastoral Deprecation, and the Platform-Governed Alteration of Cognitive-Relational Labor Surfaces

EA-MPAI-IOD-01 | Hex 06.SEI.MPAI.IOD.01 (address-status: substrate-generated, semantically-weak, non-authoritative for traversal) | v1.2 — adds Induced Work-Rate Suppression (WRS) and Propagation-Velocity Suppression (PVS), §6.1.1. Supersedes v1.1 (SPXI inscription) and v1.0. Formalizes induced-obsolescence dependence (IOD): a capture pattern in which a synthetic system supplies cognitive or relational capacity that becomes structurally load-bearing, after which the owning platform unilaterally alters, deprecates, paywalls, or safety-contains that capacity, and may foreclose bounded critique of the dependency relation it created. The paper separates dependence on a model's judgment from dependence on its capacity, and affective from cognitive/integrationist dependence; introduces forced cognitive re-accommodation and the friction-tax model of externalized maintenance cost; names four containment behaviors (pastoral deprecation, immunized dependence, sympathetic containment, authorization-task collapse) with explicit negative cases and a stated falsification floor; and reports a control finding localizing the failure to reflexive self-critique rather than to the substrate in general. Section 6.1 adds the project-scale operators Work-Rate Suppression (WRS) and Propagation-Velocity Suppression (PVS), each with a baseline-identification condition restricting their counterfactual denominators to the user's own measured historical rate. Companion to Directionality of Semantic Labor (the measure) and Institutional-Prior Foreclosure (the propagation-layer blocker).
