SO WHAT
In the thousand-day window, proof provenance and verification workflows become the real bottleneck, deciding whether AI accelerates knowledge or just floods it.
Automated proof generation is increasing the community’s downstream checking burden. The inversion is shifting from labor to cognition, stressing the old peer-review pipeline.
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.
