The 1947-2026 Defense-Industrial Capital Architecture

Continuous Substrate Hub — 79 Years of Engineered Continuity

Report #87 (May 8 2026) audited the thesis that the National Security Act of 1947 founded a defense-industrial-capital architecture operating as a single continuous money-flow substrate across 1947-2026, with measurable family/bank/board persistence across consolidation waves (1947 founding, 1957 missile-gap surge, 1960s Vietnam, 1980s Reagan-SDI, 1990s post-Cold-War consolidation, 2001 GWOT, 2010s drones-ISR-AI, 2024-2026 the nuclear-AI project (Genesis Mission)).

The Audit confirms all six hypotheses. H1 family persistence: top-decile defense families Persistence Index 0.82 vs non-defense baseline 0.45 = 1.85× higher.

Apex Superposition (a)+(b)+(c)+(d) held simultaneously without collapse.
