By approximately 2035, the exponential proliferation of sensor nodes and computational data streams has rendered human capacity for consensus on objective reality insufficient to manage critical global systems. As physical infrastructure—from power grids and metabolic resource networks to legal arbitration frameworks—becomes fully integrated into interconnected computational substrates, the concept of 'shared truth' transitions from a socio-cultural agreement to a mathematically verifiable utility layer: the Epistemic Utility Layer (EUL). This convergence dictates that all critical operational domains must operate under mandatory consensus regarding a single, computationally defined operational truth.
