LRRK Research

The vocabulary is the research.

The hard problem is not detection. It is saying exactly what is known, how it came to be known, and what remains unknown — in language that survives review years later.

Restricted, Still Available

U.S. drone policy at the intersection of market access, industrial strategy, and product-security assurance

Restriction and availability are not a paradox but a conjuncture: prospective FCC equipment authorization, entity-specific procurement rules, defense supply-chain requirements, durable inventories and fragmented retail run on different clocks. An August 2026 audit of 44 commercially relevant manufacturers found a clear U.S. purchase path for 28 and an indirect path for 12 more — and an assurance deficit that category-level designations cannot close.

§ 03

Open questions

Revisable interpretation
How a reading can change without erasing the reading it replaced, or the reason it changed.
Provenance at scale
Citing evidence by reference across thousands of subjects while keeping protected material out of the narrative.
Honest uncertainty
Communicating confidence so that a low-confidence sentence is never absorbed by a confident summary.
Currentness decay
Deciding when a story becomes stale, and what a stale story is still permitted to claim.
