The issue in plain words

AI growth needs real-world systems. A risk premium is extra cost for danger. A source family is one publisher carrying several stories. A original clock cannot be moved.

Rais and Bryce explain infrastructure, risk premiums, source independence and frozen clocks with simple models.

Simple Terms

AI infrastructure means the physical things AI needs: chips, servers, buildings, power, cooling and networks. A risk premium is extra money people demand when an event may make supply or delivery less safe. Source independence asks whether two reports truly come from separate evidence; four Reuters stories are four events, but not four publisher families. A original prediction clock is the exact deadline chosen when a call is published. It cannot be moved later to make the result look better. verified for publication means a direct article and publication date or time were verified; it does not mean every engine or language rule passed.

Fact and interpretation

Definitions match the contracts used in this package.

Strongest opposition

Simple language cannot remove the timing and evidence limits shown elsewhere.
