 Helium-3 extraction represents a fourth commercial track that doesn't fit the existing pharmaceutical→fiber→organs sequence. Interlune's timeline (2027 resource validation, 2029 pilot plant, early 2030s commercial operation at 10kg He-3/year) runs parallel to but independent of the microgravity manufacturing sequence. This suggests multiple distinct value chains may develop simultaneously rather than a single sequential progression.

+Maybell Quantum's ColdCloud demonstrates the same pattern in He-3 demand: real commercial contracts exist (Interlune supply agreement maintained), but architectural efficiency improvements (80% reduction per qubit) mean actual consumption grows much slower than qubit count scaling would suggest. The killer app demand is real but quantity forecasting requires modeling efficiency curves, not just deployment rates.

 WHY ARCHIVED: Direct evidence that He-3 demand per qubit is falling while volume commitments are maintained — this is the core tension in the Pattern 4 demand case.
 
 EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on the combination: Maybell holds Interlune contract + launches 80% efficiency improvement. Extract claim that He-3 demand growth is decoupled from qubit count scaling. Note the architectural innovation (distributed centralized cooling) as the mechanism — not materials substitution.
