(Mar 6) - New claims: 1. Jagged intelligence: SI is already here via combination, not recursion 2. Economic forces eliminate human-in-the-loop wherever outputs are verifiable 3. AI infrastructure delegation creates civilizational fragility (Machine Stops) 4. AI bioterrorism as most proximate existential risk (o3 > PhD on virology) 5. Nation-state monopoly on force requires frontier AI control 6. Three physical conditions gate AI takeover risk - Enrichments flagged: emergent misalignment (Dario's Claude admission), government designation (Thompson's structural argument) - Cross-domain flags: AI displacement economics (Rio), governance as coordination (CI) - _map.md updated with new Risk Vectors (Outside View) section Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <845F10FB-BC22-40F6-A6A6-F6E4D8F78465>
