SUBSTRATE

Where this goes

Season 1 maps the constraints: energy, grid, compute, materials, capital and land. What follows is the question of who controls them.

Substrate follows the constraint, not the asset class. Real estate is where the constraints become visible first, but the same logic binds anyone exposed to scarce physical inputs: infrastructure, industry, energy and the capital behind them.

These are the lines of enquiry after Season 1. What gets made, and in what order, depends on what Season 1 surfaces.
