Beneath the language of innovation, consolidation is taking place.
This sleeve studies the convergence of state power, capital, and computation as it expresses itself through procurement, integration, and control. The focus is the emergence of an AI–defence complex formed less by competition than by administrative necessity.
The emphasis is on structure, not novelty.
It tracks the gradual formation of entities that operate as execution layers of policy rather than as independent firms. From autonomous defence infrastructure to algorithmic governance, it observes systems that become difficult to replace, costly to regulate, and embedded by design.
Integration precedes dominance.
Dependency follows.
This is not a conspiracy.
It is an operating environment.
The Cabal exists to map how that environment forms, where control accumulates, and where its constraints emerge.
