The eval wedge works as entry point; pivoting in 12-18 months is success path, not failure.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Eval-only positions will commoditize within 12-18 months without pivot to integrated stack.prediction0.806
• If manifold-steering prototype shows positive results, About Blank will commit to Company shape (not Lab) at 12-month fork decision.prediction0.755
• The strategic fork is binary Lab vs Company after 12-month Arena wedge, not 4-way.claim0.740
• Empowerment-as-intrinsic-reward (Yiu-Allen-Ginosar-Gopnik) will be formally integrated into About Blank's SCI (Stress → Care → Intelligence) loop within 6 months.prediction0.740
• External eval authority window closes within 12-18 months as frontier labs absorb eval+safety internally.prediction0.716
• Trait refusal cosine alignment can serve as a model-specific pre-screening heuristic for identifying which traits will be dangerous under activation steering.claim0.711
  Practical application proposed based on mechanistic findings
• About Blank will add P5 (Company-shape probe) and P6 (ReflectiveBench-as-glue spec) to PRONGS.md within 7 days.prediction0.708
• About Blank will establish phenomenological AI evaluation as a recognized field within 18-36 months.prediction0.708
