Cost Structure — Zero Marginal Cost
- One-time cost: gate-rule encoding for a domain (from hours for codified domains up to months for tacit domains)
- Near-zero marginal cost: ACL2 proof + Screamer consistency check + VivaceGraph lookup per interaction — all CPU-native, all in-image
- No recurring LLM API costs for the 80% symbolic reasoning layer
- After sufficiency flip: pennies per day vs dollars per day for LLM-only
The cost curve inverts: generation is expensive, verification is cheap. This is the inversion Passepartout exploits. This is the core insight of Lisp economics — symbolic verification costs approach zero while LLM token costs remain constant.
Token demand shifts from "every interaction burns tokens" to "only unfamiliar interactions burn tokens." Steady-state per-user LLM consumption drops by an order of magnitude.
