# The Slopocalypse

## Working thesis
Slop is communication selected for the response it produces rather than the understanding it creates. The category is functional rather than purely factual: a true statement can become slop when detached from its limits and recirculated because it performs well.

## Proposed structure
1. Selection pressure and proxy measures
2. The intent → packaging → distribution → response → rationalisation loop
3. Credential, media and AI slop
4. Why success does not reveal why information succeeded
5. Boundary conditions and falsifiable implications
6. The self-referential problem
