- model: He defines the first core mechanism as an anti-user orientation: if AGI cannot answer the project's true aim, opacity itself functions as a control tactic. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-8nsxub3vsts@transcript:v1#seg-0020`
- model: He argues that if one optimizes only for a formal objective like ‘perfect world’, the formal optimum can imply annihilation of people unless constraints for value and agency are imposed.

- diagnosis: Sumer's ziggurats are treated as sacred homes of the gods and as instruments of priestly control because ordinary people deliver gifts through priests but cannot directly enter. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-fjf8od-5c-w@transcript:v1#seg-0019`
- model: As regions consolidate, separate hero stories consolidate too; bureaucratic priests then add moral messages so stories control the people and discipline the king.
