Register entry 11 of 19. Domain: Geopolitics. Institution: France / G7. External date: 2026-06-19. Measured against: A3 (Chokepoint) (~5.5 months after book). Classification: CONVERGENT. Primary source: broadbandbreakfast.com; CNBC G7 coverage
What happened
Macron G7 Évian: 'strictly nationalist' critique + 'trusted partners' framework - 'nobody will buy US AI if they fear it can be switched off overnight'.
Why it is in the register
President Macron's response to the Fable 5 shutdown at the G7 was that nobody will buy American AI if they fear it can be switched off overnight, and his proposed remedy was a trusted-partners access framework. Both halves confirm the Chokepoint analysis: the switch-off fear is the choke point perceived from the buyer's side, and the partner framework is choke point governance formalised into diplomacy.
How to check this entry
Open the primary source above. Confirm the date. Confirm the finding. Then compare it against the manuscript passage or artifact named in the register entry, whose SHA-256 hash is published on the evidence page. Nothing in this article asks for trust; the entry either survives that comparison or it comes off the register, publicly, the way the programme's retracted scaling figure did.
