ideas: editorial sweep — atomization, interlinking, restructuring
- Split competitive-analysis-2026-05.org → TOC + 9 competitor files in ideas/competitors/. Dropped date from filename. All competitor UUIDs generated, TOC keeps original UUID for backlink continuity. - Deleted passepartout-economics.org archive (replaced by 27-node KB). - Inlined 5 'See also' blocks into natural prose (compliance-index, first-mover-window, revenue-table, orders-of-magnitude-time, native-org-knowledge-base). - Linked 7 orphan compliance pages back to compliance index + finished truncated sentences. - Linked all 14 Agora requirement docs from topic-relevant pages (identity→lisp-machine-security, infrastructure→compute-marketplace, social-space→growth-strategy, exchange→agora-contracts, etc.). - Linked ai-industry-impact from investment-thesis, sufficiency-flip, verification-appliance, effects-growth-flywheel (up from 1 to 10+ pages). - Fixed CREATED timestamps to use git commit dates instead of today. - Made all links absolute from root (no port inheritance). - Removed stale agora/docs/ duplicate content.

The [[file:triad-overview.org][triad (Logos + [[file:stoa.org][Stoa]] + [[file:agora.org][Agora]])]] is not a product in an existing category. Verified infrastructure is a new category, and every existing category — cloud, AI, OS, social, payments, compliance, governance — eventually migrates into it because the alternative becomes indefensible.

|

Passepartout gate rules turn every computational result into a machine-checkable proof. Papers carry proof logs, not just dataset citations. The replication crisis in compute-heavy fields (ML, climate science, genomics) meets its match — if the code doesn't verify, the result doesn't publish.

The replication crisis in compute-heavy fields (ML, climate science, genomics) meets its match — if the code doesn't verify, the result doesn't publish.

The effect compounds: proof repositories accumulate lemma libraries across fields, so each paper stands on verified shoulders, not on trust.

This shifts the entire AI safety discourse. The question stops being "what should we ban?" and becomes "what gates should we verify?" Prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, hallucination in critical paths — all become gate rule specifications, not white papers.

The insurance industry, which prices based on risk, shifts to pricing based on proof coverage. Companies with full verification pay lower premiums. Companies without it cannot get insured. This is the completion of the feedback loop: verification is not just better engineering — it is a requirement for participation in the formal economy.
