Cognitive Atrophy as Vendor Lock-In: A 2050 Forecast

Author here.

I wrote this white paper to analyze the "Great Cognitive Transition" not as a labor issue, but as a resilience issue. My core argument is that we are confusing "automation" (which is good) with "cognitive atrophy" (which creates single points of failure).

If we lose the "first principles" understanding of the systems we build, we risk a form of "Vendor Lock-in" for the human mind. The paper compares the divergent strategies of the EU (regulation), China (vocational "master craftsmanship"), and the Nordics (analog educational reversion) in dealing with this risk.

I am particularly looking for feedback on the "Civilizational Resilience" section and whether the "Right to Analog Existence" is a viable legal framework for 2050.
