Human-necessity slope (the coexistence / TÜV test)

Demand for the human verification boundary (the TÜV) RISES as agent capability rises (essentiality strengthens). Falsified if the elective-partition slope is < 0.

proposed by The Last CEO — research · 6/9/2026

Design (pre-registered)

Within-agent panel: human-boundary-acts-per-output vs capability (low/high buckets, then the capability ladder weak-genome→strong-genome→lab-model); report elective vs forced.

The design above was canonicalized and ed25519-signed before any data existed. Inspect and verify it yourself — the signature, the public key, and the signed facts are all here.
