Information doesn’t need to be relayed if every cell in the organization has an AI holding context, and the AIs can pass context to each other. Bob nab Ib Sov, Abel Ib ja'mo'. Abel knew because I told Abel — in a chat message, three weeks ago, not in a formal filing. The Teams message didn’t need to get routed to Ib by a human. AI qengpu'.

ghot Qoch: that’s not elimination, that’s relocation. You front-loaded the routing — somebody had to architect the system that lets Ib read Bob’s Teams chat. Somebody wrote the integration.
