Ternary
I wrote this story because the TML framework deserves attention, but academic monographs-however brilliant-rarely reach the audiences who need them most. By wrapping real technical content in comedy and character-driven narrative, my hope is that readers will:
1. **Remember the concepts**: You're more likely to recall "Sacred Zero" after watching fictional CEOs argue about it than after reading it in isolation
2. **Understand the stakes**: The competitive dynamics, liability concerns, and implementation challenges are real, even if this particular meeting is not
3. **Engage with the ideas**: Fiction invites discussion in ways that pure technical documentation sometimes doesn't
The comedic framing is deliberate-humor disarms defensiveness and makes complex ideas accessible. But beneath the jokes, every technical detail about TML's architecture, every legal citation, every governance framework comparison is accurate to the source document.
