12. Integrated Operator AI (Monitoring-as-Deterrence Concept) 

In practice, a consolidated operator company will likely run the network, but human operators may be influenced by incentives and desires. This proposal introduces the concept of an 'integrated operator AI'. The idea is to embed the assumption that 'unit AIs are watching the whole system' as a deterrent against deviation (backdoorization), without fixing the detailed deliberation algorithms today. Because the evolution of AI is uncertain, the concrete content of monitoring and deliberation is left to the future. However, the reference basis must remain consistent with the public audit logs defined in L1.
