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.

Connected papers: From Law to Logistics: How AI Thins Coercive Regimes; Authority After Commitment; Markets as Multi-Agent Constraint Stabilizers The paper defines logistics structurally, focusing on the stabilization, ordering, and reproduction of flows. 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.
