Hermes cc3976fb7f 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.

EU AI Act

EU AI Act

First comprehensive AI regulation globally (effective August 2026). Risk-based tiers: unacceptable (banned), high-risk (conformity assessment), limited (transparency), minimal (code of conduct). High-risk systems require: risk management, data governance, technical documentation, transparency, human oversight, accuracy/robustness/cybersecurity. Third-party conformity assessment for some high-risk systems (notified bodies).

Who must comply: Providers and deployers of AI systems in the EU. Extraterritorial if the AI system output is used in the EU. Scope covers GPAI (general-purpose AI) with additional obligations for systemic-risk GPAI.

Penalties: Up to 35M EUR or 7% of global turnover (higher than GDPR).

Why it matters: The EU AI Act's conformity assessment requirement creates an instant certification market. Passepartout's gate stack can serve as the human oversight and accuracy/robustness infrastructure for any AI system deployed through it. The verification monopoly argument applies at maximum force: an ACL2-verified gate stack is the most defensible approach to AI Act compliance. First-mover advantage: the regulation takes effect August 2026. No certification body or tool vendor has an ACL2-based compliance pipeline. First to market captures the standard-setting role.
