Stitched Parallel Authorship: Expert-Rated Prerequisite Chains under Mandatory Placement

Under review. Read-only platform scans and blinded expert ratings show that decentralized, bounded-view contributors working under a mandatory parent-attachment rule produce multi-author prerequisite chains that domain instructors rate as valid learning orders.

This submitted manuscript uses read-only scans of a collaborative prerequisite-graph platform and blinded ratings from external domain instructors to ask whether decentralized, near-disjoint parallel authoring composes into coherent global structure. Most longest prerequisite chains stitch together multiple authors and exceed any single contributor's saved view, coordination signatures are weak, and instructors rate sampled chains as valid learning orders well above scrambled controls.
