 PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[space governance gaps are widening not narrowing because technology advances exponentially while institutional design advances linearly]]
 WHY ARCHIVED: First source specifically documenting the governance gap in orbital data centers — establishes Pattern 3 is active for this new sector. The AI sovereignty angle is the most novel element: framing orbital compute as sovereignty infrastructure rather than just commercial compute creates a qualitatively new governance challenge.
 EXTRACTION HINT: The governance gap claim is extractable now (documented evidence, clear pattern). The AI sovereignty claim is a flag for Theseus — it's directly relevant to AI alignment, autonomous AI systems outside jurisdiction, and AI governance frameworks.
