Understanding ADT Adversarial Adoption Rate
The fraction of sophisticated adversaries in a category who have incorporated the ADT's formal targeting prescriptions into their adversarial campaigns. Governs the Strange Loop effect (ADT-SL-1). At m_ADT ≥ m_ADT_threshold ≈ 0.10, ADT quantitative predictions carry systematic bias from the publication strange loop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ADT Adversarial Adoption Rate?
The ADT Adversarial Adoption Rate (m_ADT) measures the fraction of sophisticated adversaries in a category who have incorporated the Adversarial Displacement Theorem's formal targeting prescriptions into their campaigns. It governs the Strange Loop effect: as m_ADT rises, adversarial precision increases and early categorical infrastructure advantage compounds.
What happens when m_ADT reaches its threshold?
At m_ADT ≥ m_ADT_threshold (~0.10), the ADT's own quantitative predictions carry systematic bias from the publication strange loop — because enough adversaries have adopted the theorem's prescriptions that the model's assumptions about adversarial behavior are no longer independent of the model's predictions.
Can m_ADT be measured?
m_ADT is estimated indirectly through adversarial campaign forensics: the proportion of detected adversarial actions that exhibit ADT-consistent targeting signatures (optimal P_min sizing, architecture-timed delivery, categorical signal prioritization) indicates the degree of ADT adoption in the competitive environment.
