SO WHAT
In the thousand-day window, expect choice to narrow as theoretical reasoning becomes subscription-like, increasing risk of consolidation even if tools improve.
MIT researchers say AI could become the default solver for theoretical work across economics and high-energy physics. It’s a phase-transition signal: the inversion moves from computation to intellectual labor itself.
This is Negative Resistance’s reframed reading of a reported signal. The headline and analysis above are our interpretation through the thousand-day-window lens. The original reporting lives at the source linked above.
