Replaced every bottom-of-section 'See also:' block with inline Org-mode file: links at the first natural mention in body text. All 29 files across the economics directory now use wiki-style inline cross-references rather than standalone reference blocks.

Development Velocity and Timeline Estimates
At the observed velocity (v0.4.0 to v0.7.2 in a single session), the agent writes code and the symbolic engine verifies it at a cycle measured in minutes. The bottleneck is not coding speed — it is LLM API latency, ACL2 verification time, and human review of the 5% of edge cases Screamer flags.
To v1.0.0 (neurosymbolic maturity, ~4,500 lines): ~80 cycles, 3-5 weeks, ~2-3 hours of human review.
To self-driving Lisp Machine (Logos + Stoa hardware, +~6,000 lines): ~60 cycles, 2-4 weeks. The microcode must be loaded onto physical hardware and benchmarked, adding seconds per cycle.
Full Stoa (editor, browser, shell, Qt integration, ~3,500 lines): ~30 cycles, 2-3 weeks.
Total from today to full Logos + Stoa + Agora triad: 3-6 months. Most of that time is spent on design decisions and protocol specification, not on code.
The system writes the code. The human makes architectural decisions and reviews the 5% ambiguous rules. This timeline assumes a rapid sufficiency flip for each domain. See Investment thesis for the business case that justifies this approach.
