What this is
Capability-level discontinuity in frontier model behavior crossing a threshold that unlocks regime-shifting applications (autonomous agents, scientific discovery, military tasking). Operates on Western-democratic-industrial scaffold; F-CT-9 ADAPTATION-REQUIRED fires on labor/information substrates.
