Programme Research Question
How does dependence on externally owned AI infrastructure affect the financial survivability and strategic position of independent businesses -- and what individual, collective, and institutional responses are available?

Three published working papers examining the AI infrastructure economics problem from individual survivability, institutional decision architecture, and collective ecosystem resilience. A fourth paper is in planning.

Research Progression
EAD-2026-01
What is the structural cost problem?
Identified External AI Dependence as a structural economic variable: independent businesses pay the same nominal USD price for AI infrastructure while absorbing materially different income-adjusted costs. Proposed the Specialised Digital Asset hierarchy as the individual firm-level response.
EAD-2026-02
What institutional architecture is missing?
Identified the Judgment Layer as the missing synthesis architecture between operational intelligence and executive decision. Explained why organisations with capable systems fail recurrently: the synthesis gap is preserved through remediation cycles.
EAD-2026-03
Does individual resilience change anything structural?
Proposed the Infrastructure Loop as the collective-level mechanism. Assessed eleven economies using the Economic Participation Framework. Introduced the three-group ecosystem (Settlers, Connectors, Circulators) and the 1% Education Mechanism.
EAD-2026-04
What is the collective intelligence layer?
Planned. Examines whether coordinated knowledge sharing across independent builders creates a compounding capability advantage analogous to the Infrastructure Loop for ownership.

Open Questions
  • Does directing Specialised Digital Asset revenue into infrastructure equity produce measurable structural change at scale?
  • What is the minimum builder population required for the 1% Education Mechanism to sustain a self-reinforcing knowledge transfer cycle?
  • What is the collective intelligence layer that emerges when enough independent builders share structured domain knowledge?
Future Direction

EAD-2026-04 will examine the collective intelligence layer -- whether coordinated research sharing across independent builders creates a compounding knowledge advantage analogous to the Infrastructure Loop for ownership.

Overall Contribution

Establishes External AI Dependence (EAD) as a structural economic variable, introduces the EADI scoring framework, proposes the Specialised Digital Asset hierarchy and Infrastructure Loop as individual and collective responses, identifies the Judgment Layer as the missing institutional architecture, and provides the Economic Participation Framework across eleven economies.
