Thanks Kyle. Reading across the full sequence of Five Year Plans the way you have done here makes the 15th considerably even more legible as a strategic document than treating it in isolation. New Focus, Continuous Purpose (https://preceperi.substack.com/p/new-focus-continuous-purpose) works through the 15th Plan with particular attention to the new doctrinal language it introduces, including as a full stack AI architecture and as a signal that normal procurement rules are suspended for designated chokepoints. The piece also examines the institutional asymmetry problem for other governments attempting to respond across electoral cycles.

I also have a subsite, Apertura, which provides targeted content for Non Executive Directors, board members and executives to keep them abreast of AI, technology, governance and transformation.

If you, or anyone who sees this, subscribes and recommends my site, I will return the favour and subscribe to you, and upgrade you to 30 day paid access. Just reply here or drop me a note.

Cheers from

The six trends are very illuminating. This is a huge topic that needs a 3-volume book series to properly explain, but this piece did the best possible job for a short essay.

I thought about that. It’s possible that those folk are now figuring out what anyone even mildly connected to reality can clearly see. Noah was unavailable for comment.
