The Pentagon's demand was, in structural terms, a demand to eliminate the human's ability to redirect, halt, or override the system. Amodei's refusal was an insistence on maintaining State-Space Reversibility - the architectural commitment to keeping the human in the loop precisely because the system lacks the functional grounding to be trusted outside it.
