OCC Application The Techno-Solutionist Error

OCC application paper applying the Operator Closure Constraint to AI “augmentation”: shows that when consequence-bearing loops still close through embodied humans, output scaling can force a rate–fidelity collapse into plausibility-gating (“Auditor’s Dilemma”), and that cortical energetics invert the “metabolic savings” claim because communication/integration dominates computation (Levy & Calvert, 2021), making “offload computation” regimes prone to bounded-audit failure under drift.
