Interpretation:

• The upward arrows represent progress — from technical skill to global impact.
• The dotted feedback arrows represent reflexive learning — planetary and social outcomes inform how new models are trained and evaluated.
• Lower layers measure competence, middle layers ensure trust and governance, and upper layers define purpose and sustainability.

This structure mirrors a control system for civilization: technical performance feeds upward into societal outcomes, and planetary health feeds back downward to re-tune our definitions of success.
