## The Discontinuity Thesis

AI severs the mass employment-wage-consumption circuit. Three premises:
1. AI achieves durable cost/performance superiority across cognitive work
2. Human institutions cannot preserve stable human-only economic domains at scale
3. The majority of adults lose access to economically necessary labor

## Cope Score Scale

- 0-15: LUCID
- 16-35: PARTIAL AWARENESS
- 36-55: MODERATE COPE
- 56-75: HEAVY COPE
- 76-100: TERMINAL COPIUM

Tracked-figure aggregates include every validated 0-100 score, weight each unique underlying event once with a 14-day half-life, and retain repeated publishers as provenance rather than extra score weight.
