The Orbital Thermal Bottleneck — Physics Dictates Design
HighNEW — REPORT #104 (TECHNOCRATIC FORECAST)
In plain terms
[Report #107 — 2026 Space Race] LEO heat rejection is limited to thermal radiation and launch cost runs high (~$2,700/kg reported); these physical constraints force near-identical engineering (HALEU SMRs, OISL links, radiative cooling) across mutually hostile actors.

Convergent design is technological determinism — the Compound-Path Null (H6) — not coordination. Apex held; manifestation arm d.
