</h3>
<p style="color:#6b7280;font-size:0.9rem;margin:0;line-height:1.6;">Why AI safety may be a race over which computations become real first, and why advanced AI may function as an externalized self-modeling organ for human society.</p>

</h3>
<p style="color:#6b7280;font-size:0.9rem;margin:0;line-height:1.6;">As AI becomes planet-scale infrastructure, intelligence will be transported across space — and that transport has unavoidable costs. Network topology may minimize those costs.</p>

</h3>
<p style="color:#6b7280;font-size:0.9rem;margin:0;line-height:1.6;">Why mutual information is only a starting point for understanding intelligence, and why a deeper theory may need endogenous viability and distributed multiscale organization.</p>
