AI RISK IS NOW PRICEABLE: FROM UNDECIDABLE SOFTWARE TO DECIDABLE SILICON

The Software Wall (The Uninsurable Gap)

Rice's Theorem Forbids Software Certainty
Software cannot perfectly verify other software; any "eval" sharing a
failure domain with the AI is a "co-conspirator."
LLM-based monitors "flip" their answers on identical inputs, making them
legally inadmissible as a "standard of care."

The "Goodness" Trap
Trying to price if AI work is "good" is an infinite recursion; insurers
must instead price measurable boundaries.

The Software Wall (The Uninsurable Gap) → The Hardware Floor (The
Priceable Asset)

Moving Measurement to the Silicon
Measuring semantic drift as physical execution drift on a 144-node
lattice creates a deterministic, hardware-signed receipt.

Competence Lattice Heat Map
14.1% Empirical Breach Rate — We converted AI drift into a countable
frequency, providing the exact raw material needed for a premium.

The "King-Move" Worst-Axis Metric
Unlike software that "averages" errors, our hardware trips if the AI
jumps the fence on any single axis.

The "Commit Panels" (Triptych): Intent (Promised Action), Reality (Actual
Action), Delta (Drift: Out-of-Lane Violation)

The "Doctor/Plumber" Metaphor: Lane-Departure
Surgeon staying in an Operating Room vs. Surgeon performing plumbing.
