NTNarnaiezzsshaa Truong

Key Points

  • The paper aims to explain the relationship between physics and law, particularly how a substrate is necessary for governance over drift.
  • Conceptual analysis of multi-agent drift and its implications for governance.
  • Examination of the differences between physics and law as registers.
  • Discussion on the role of the substrate as an intermediary between physics and law.
  • Established that physical phenomena like drift require governance through a legal framework.
  • Demonstrated that without a substrate, the relationship between physics and law remains unanchored.
  • Highlighted the necessity of distinct infrastructures for physics and law to coexist and interact.

Abstract

Multi-agent drift is physics. Governance is law. Physics does not obey law. Law must anchor physics. The substrate is where physics becomes governable. This paper explains why drift requires a substrate, why physics and law are different registers that require different infrastructure, and why the substrate is the necessary intermediary between the two. Physics explains drift. Law governs drift. The substrate is where physics becomes law. This is the foundational architecture claim of the Coalition Drift Series and of Soft Armor Labs’ APR-Series governance stack.
