Summary

Two correctness fixes surfaced by a repo-wide consistency audit — one mechanical (broken links), one factual (a figure that contradicted itself). Both are self-contained; neither touches an argument or a voice.

What changed

1. Broken relative links (fix: repair broken relative links)
A link audit over all 58 markdown files (254 relative links checked) found 9 broken. This fixes the 5 that were path-depth / wrong-directory errors pointing at files that do exist elsewhere:

  • education/emerging-rule/{ai-education-reading-list, emerging-rule-presentation-scribe-lesson}.md linked ../lessons/cs-k12-… but lessons/ is at the repo root, one level further up → ../../lessons/… (4 links)
  • lessons/cs-k12-…md linked ../research/emerging-rule-presentation-scribe-lesson.md, but that file lives under education/emerging-rule/ → corrected the path and the displayed code-span (1 link)

2. A self-contradicting revenue figure (research/sociotechnical: fix a self-contradicting revenue figure)
research/sociotechnical-ai-sovereignty/DRAFT.md:60 set OpenAI + Anthropic combined run-rate at ~$70B (consistent with the table above it), named ~$130B as the AI-attributed revenue the 2026 capex "wants to pencil out," then closed with "Two labs, narrowly counted, already exceed $130 billion on paper." $70B does not exceed $130B. Rewritten to be honest to the ~$70B — "more than halfway there — roughly $70 billion between them, from a standing start last year" — which keeps the point (the "AI won't monetize" argument is dead; the gap is closing fast) without the false claim.

How it was found

  • Link resolution across every markdown file (254 links).
  • Draft-vs-packet consistency audit on all five research packages; the other four (vintage-mechanical, tabletop, postwar, childrens-software) were internally consistent. The postwar field-distribution table even sums to 165 = its scientist count.

Not included (need your call, kept out deliberately)

  • 4 links to content absent from the repo — three ../showcases/…/README.md (no showcases/ directory exists) and ../research/emerging-rule-scribe-talkthrough.md (file never committed). Can't re-point them; add the content or remove the links.
  • 6 orphaned files (nothing links to them) — three creative/ pieces, drafts/applied-governance-of-autonomous-systems.md, lessons/socialstudies-6-8-teacher-overview.md, professional/HANDOFF-2026-06-10.md. Not necessarily bugs, just unindexed.
  • The ad-breaks provenance relabel rides its own PR (research: Nobody Counts the Ad Breaks — working draft v1 + packet #10), not this branch.

A relative-link audit over all 58 markdown files (254 relative links checked)
found 9 broken. This fixes the 5 that were path-depth / wrong-directory errors
pointing at files that do exist elsewhere in the repo:

- education/emerging-rule/{ai-education-reading-list, emerging-rule-presentation-
  scribe-lesson}.md linked `../lessons/cs-k12-...` but lessons/ is at the repo
  root, one level further up -> `../../lessons/cs-k12-...` (4 links).
- lessons/cs-k12-...md linked `../research/emerging-rule-presentation-scribe-
  lesson.md`, but that file lives under education/emerging-rule/ -> corrected the
  path and the displayed code-span to match (1 link).

The remaining 4 broken links point at content not present in the repo at all
(no showcases/ directory; no research/emerging-rule-scribe-talkthrough.md) and
are left untouched pending a decision on whether that content is added or the
links removed.

DRAFT.md:60 established OpenAI + Anthropic combined run-rate at ~$70B (consistent
with the table above it: ~$24B + ~$47B), set ~$130B as the AI-attributed revenue
the 2026 capex "wants to pencil out," then closed the paragraph with "Two labs,
narrowly counted, already exceed $130 billion on paper." $70B does not exceed
$130B — the punchline contradicted the paragraph's own figure.

Rewrote the close to be honest to the ~$70B: the two labs are more than halfway
to the $130B bar, from a standing start last year — which keeps the point (the
"AI won't monetize" argument is dead; the gap is closing fast) without the false
claim. Contained to the draft; the packet does not repeat these figures.

Found by a draft-vs-packet consistency audit across the four research packages;
the other three (vintage-mechanical, tabletop, postwar) were clean.
