Information flow

Coordination requires shared epistemics; if synthetic content collapses factual substrate, no other lever can function because no proposal can be evaluated.

Concentration risk dominates misuse risk; open weights are the only mechanism that prevents a safety coup by a closed lab with captured regulators.

External evaluation sees only what labs release; insider disclosure is the only route to ground truth on capability trajectory, safety culture, and incidents.

Open weights are irrecoverable once released and any proliferated model becomes misuse infrastructure; state classification is the only reliable non-proliferation regime.
