Volatile assumptions

  • How do abstinence, minimum deterrence, resilience-first denial, internationalist assurance, interdependence, and post-biological security doctrines compare?
  • Legal, regulator, programme, supplier, standards, and international-framework status can change independently of this local record.

Scenario dependencies

Disconfirming evidence

  • Punishment-based deterrence risks mass death, accident, unauthorized use, arms racing, false alarm, and permanent legitimacy loss.
  • A competent authority, current primary source, or observed physical condition contradicting the local assumption.

Affected public claims

  • Civilian nuclear strategy record EVI-NS-018
  • No-current-operation boundary
  • Weapons-abstinence and non-proliferation position
