  "central_claim": "The existing regulatory and operational toolkit cannot resolve high-frequency dependency vectors. The Dependency Autonomy Architecture is the only currently existing framework that operates at the required physical resolution through intrinsic phase coherence at the 3.33ms Sovereign Constant.",
  "structural_problem": "Administrative processes, aggregate averaging, curtailment, and legislative moratoriums all fail because they attempt to manage dependency after it has been created rather than requiring self-stabilization at the nodal level.",
  "solution_requirements": [
    "Real-time phase coherence via R_sync",
    "Compliance determined by physics, not administrative filing",
    "Measurable Ghost Load as delta between demanded load and net utility returned",
    "Certification verifies absence of extractive drag"
  ],
  "position_on_adoption": "Whether legacy institutions adopt this framework is not the measure of its validity. The framework is correct because it aligns with the physical and structural requirements of the substrate.",
  "falsifiable_position": "Nodes operating according to the Medura invariant will demonstrate measurable stability. Nodes that do not will continue to produce measurable 4.83µs jitter. The data will accumulate.",
