Logistics as a Distinct Regime

In production (complete)

A positive formalization of logistics as its own regime within the governance architecture rather than merely the degraded endpoint of other regimes.

Function in corpus

Clarifying paper for the governance stack. It sharpens the law-to-logistics analysis and gives the corpus a more precise vocabulary for automation-mediated regime change.

This matters because earlier governance papers use “logistics” diagnostically to describe thinning outcomes; this paper supplies the positive formal account needed to avoid category confusion and to distinguish logistics as a regime in its own right from logistics as a result of transition.
