Towards a Booking Mandate for Contested Shared Space

A Failed Replication of the Food-Truck-Bay Priority-Norms Finding at the Campus Quad Lawn

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities restages an earlier food-truck-bay finding about self-serving priority claims at a university quad lawn with no booking system, logging 247 contested-claim episodes across a fourteen-week semester. The self-serving asymmetry itself replicates, but a paper booking sheet introduced at week 10 collapses it from 71% to 4% within four weeks, contradicting the original study's finding that the same intervention changes nothing.
