Coda: The Closed-Loop Checklist

This essay was an early synthesis that has been absorbed into the Compressed Medicine curriculum.

The closed-loop architecture argument is now articulated as shared compression + error correction in Part 9: The Defense Architecture, with the Epic Sepsis Model 2021/2026 case as evidence that operational error correction is the deployment gap. The three-routes verification framing it sketched has been recast as the four-channel architecture in 10.1: The Connection. The framework-positioning paragraph (FDA / CHAI / FUTURE-AI / TRIPOD-AI / Duke / ONC) is now in the Preface.

For the canonical treatment, start with the Preface and follow the curriculum's recommended order. The capstone is Part 11: The Irreversible-Action Check.
