//! # Tier 1: Edge Autonomy and Control //! //! Drones, vehicles, robotics, industrial automation. //! //! ## What Changes //! - Reflex arcs handle safety and stabilization //! - Policy loops run slower and only when needed //! - Bullet-time bursts replace constant compute //! //! ## Why This Matters //! - Lower power, faster reactions //! - Systems degrade gracefully instead of catastrophically //! - Certification becomes possible because reflex paths are bounded //! //!
