The papers¶

Nine working drafts across the programme's three threads. All are evolving; version numbers and dates are on each PDF's first page.

Paper	Thread	One line	PDF
Path Sovereignty	measurement	The measured map of the European stack, and sovereignty as a stock of options	PDF
Cuts and Options	theory	Coercion and diversification as dual numbers, and why per-layer certificates cannot certify either	PDF
Channels of Power	theory	The complete taxonomy of how one actor in a technology network moves another, soft power included	PDF
Sovereignty as a Flow	measurement	How control of European technology firms leaves, and what resists it	PDF
Screening for Sovereignty	mechanism design	When procurement can and cannot tell a genuine supplier from a well-lawyered subsidiary	PDF
Cheaper and Losing	mechanism design	The layered market model: why price does not decide the cloud market, and what does	PDF
Exit or Own?	mechanism design	Portability mandates and ownership screens are complements, with an exact band	PDF
Two Screenings	mechanism design	Why the EU screened Huawei structurally and the hyperscalers behaviourally	PDF
Cloud Services Matrix	architecture	Two axes and an auditable exit-tax score for every cloud dependency	PDF

How the papers depend on each other¶

An arrow points from a paper to what it builds on (imports, computes on, or uses results of). Dashed links are conceptual kinship without textual dependency; dashed boxes are planned. Click the diagram to enlarge it.

Reading the arrows: the theory paper computes on the flagship's measured graph; the taxonomy imports the theory's quantities, the flagship's measured overlays, and the capture registry; the flagship uses the capture results as its temporal dimension; the capture paper imports one result from the layered-market model; the two case-and-instrument papers import the screening paper's frame; the layered model uses the exit-option concept; and the matrix paper shares objects (exit costs, tipped markets) with the flagship and the layered model without textual dependency. The planned dynamics paper will build on the theory, the taxonomy, and the capture evidence.
