ImplicationBuild modular software to toggle local compliance checks by national border.
Decision impactTranslate the rule into a tested control.
#hardware
SignalLattice added hardware FPGA chips to robot joints to inspect electronic commands and physically cut motor power if commands are unsafe.
ImplicationPut hardware chips on motor joints to block bad commands before machines move.
Decision impactRestrict egress and audit every agent action.
