Consensus Blind Spot Theory Pachauri

The Consensus Blind Spot Theory proposes that when many people independently choose from the same set of options using similar criteria, their winners converge into a common set, while the rejected options accumulate into a structured, often undervalued pool. It's not that the rejects are worse; they're often just victims of a shared blind spot in the judgment criteria. The theory introduces four testable constructs (Consensus Field, Discard Mass, Blind Spot Gravity, and the Arbitrage Threshold) and lays out the exact condition under which "picking what everyone else ignored" actually works, versus when it's just choosing something worse.
