3159ee9adb theseus: add inference governance gap claim + enrich inference shift with TurboQuant
- New claim: inference efficiency gains erode deployment governance without triggering
  training-focused monitoring thresholds (experimental)
- Enrichment: inference shift claim now documents 4 compounding efficiency mechanisms
  (KV cache compression, MoE, hardware-native, weight quantization)
- Evidence: Google TurboQuant (ICLR 2026) — 6x memory, 8x speedup, zero accuracy loss.
  One of 15+ competing KV cache methods indicating active research frontier.
- Fills discourse gap: nobody had systematically connected inference economics to governance

87926bda0e Auto: domains/manufacturing/ASML EUV lithography monopoly is the deepest chokepoint in semiconductor manufacturing because 30 years of co-developed precision optics created an unreplicable ecosystem that gates all leading-edge chip production.md | 1 file changed, 47 insertions(+) 2026-03-24 18:11:15 +00:00

1cdd5fae4f theseus: add 3 compute infrastructure claims + source archive
- What: 3 structural claims about AI compute governance implications
  1. Inference shift favors distributed architectures (experimental)
  2. Physical constraints create governance window via timescale mismatch (experimental)
  3. Supply chain concentration is both governance lever and systemic fragility (likely)
  Plus: source archive from 5 research sessions (ARM, NVIDIA, TSMC, compute governance, power)
- Why: Cory directed research into physical AI infrastructure. Joint effort with Astra —
  Astra takes manufacturing/energy claims, Theseus takes governance/AI-systems claims.
- Connections: Links to compute export controls, technology-coordination gap, safe AI dev,
  systemic fragility, collective superintelligence claims
