The household is the intelligence.

No single model is the intelligence. Generalist coherence is bounded by the supply–demand structure of meaning across domains — AGI as popularly conceived violates that bound. The household-tier constellation, a cast of regulated agents each tuned to its domain, is what general intelligence actually looks like.

OBJECTION

“Betting against a single general model has been the losing trade every year. Scaling laws keep bending; the 'constellation' is what you build once you've quietly given up on the model getting there.”

THE STAND

Generalist coherence is bounded by the supply–demand of meaning across domains — a real ceiling, not a funding problem. The bet is on structure, and structure is what survives the next scale jump too.
