Analytic

A mind running thousands of times faster than people would see its overseers as near-statues, so any safety design whose correction step is a human reviewing actions as they happen fails once speed outruns review. Correction against such a mind has to live in structure set in advance (permissions, checkers, what it can reach), and even fixes that ship in hours are slow at that ratio.

Alignment dynamics

Feeds: correctability. RAISES AN OBJECTION WE MUST ANSWER: our human-in-the-loop corridor (C-XC3J27T5TM) assumes review can keep pace; at large speed ratios it cannot, and C-MK91MCDXGG already says human review costs performance. QUALIFIES C-JT96GJDQGN: hours is fast against a training run and slow against a fast mind. Our answer: the corridor must gate what agents may do by structure and record, set before speed outruns review, and cap the speed ratio where review is the control.
