Race Dynamics Remove Pause → Verifiable Pauses

This response addresses the race incentive assumption; it does not resolve military capability, geopolitical strategy, or treaty enforcement failure modes.

AI-2027 Reference: Competitive pressure makes pauses non-credible and unstable.

A. What AI-2027 Claims Here

Actors cannot credibly slow or pause because rivals may continue, making restraint costly.

B. Assumptions Underneath

• Pauses rely on trust.
• Compliance cannot be verified.
• Verification implies enforcement.

C. What Changes Under a Constitutional Execution Architecture

Pauses can be attested without centralized enforcement via public proof that execution did not occur beyond defined bounds.

D. Relevant Components

• ForgeRun (pause attestation)
• Chain of Fact (FRS) (public verification)

E. Outcome Difference

Restraint becomes observable, reducing incentives to defect purely due to uncertainty about rivals.

F. What This Does Not Solve

• Does not force rivals to pause.
• Does not eliminate race incentives.
• Does not guarantee cooperation.
