AI stack: four structures of power at one checkpoint

Story map

The first level shows thirteen mechanisms grouped into six analytical families. Dots are facts positioned by event date; cases, qualifiers and timeline lenses remain available in the full story view.

Capital: not one ranking, but different money regimes

Annual flows, private investment, capex, cumulative state-guidance funds, sovereign programs, mobilization targets and pledges are different accounting regimes. The included announcement total is useful as a map, not as a spend total.

Reading limits

Story graph

Mechanisms are the default reading layer. Open cases and qualifiers when you need a concrete episode or a limit on the mechanism; select the formation family to inspect timeline lenses.

Arc membership is not claim support. A fact has one primary route only for placement; its other arc memberships and evidentiary links remain intact. Event counts do not measure control strength.

Five responsibility domains, not a risk scale. Filters separate AI roles, enforceability and implementation stages.

Agent behaviour: from task to decision

The map shows where behaviour and autonomy depend on context, memory, observation and external infrastructure. Arrows indicate analytical order, not a demonstrated causal chain.

From findings to resilience

Tracks respect the filters above. “All facts” includes historical and supporting records.

Cross-cutting mechanisms

Facts on the same analytical arc are ordered by event date. Arrows mean sequence inside a shared mechanism, not a proven causal chain.

Explicit dependency ledger

Only direct event-to-event relations from the source storygraph are listed here. Open an edge to inspect its relation and endpoints.

State observations — separate from event dates

Timeline by stack layer

Each date marks a concrete public, legal, commercial or enforcement milestone, not a retrospective development period. Multi-layer facts appear on every relevant lane; open a card to inspect the date basis.
