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.

Quebec Law 25

gate rules. The gate stack can encode "this data flow crosses a CCPA boundary" and automatically enforce the opt-out at every data access. First-mover advantage is moderate (many CCPA tools exist) but none provide a deterministic, verifiable audit trail — they are all document-based.

Canadian provincial privacy (Quebec Law 25, Ontario PHIPA)

Quebec Law 25 (2023-2024 phased) is Canada's most aggressive privacy regulation — closer to GDPR than PIPEDA. Requires: privacy officer appointment, privacy impact assessments, consent modernization, data portability, right to de-index, algorithm transparency (automated decision-making disclosures). Penalties up to $25M CAD or 4% of global revenue.

Why it matters: The algorithm transparency requirement is unique — organizations must disclose how automated decision systems work. The gate stack's ACL2 proof log is a natural algorithm transparency artifact. First-mover advantage: this is a new requirement with no established vendor tooling.
