BUILD
Install a standard TeX Live distribution containing the recommended LaTeX
packages. From this directory run:

    python3 build.py

This writes build/paper.pdf and build logs. The included vector figures are enough
for the build. To regenerate them, install NumPy and Matplotlib and run:

    python3 build.py --regenerate-figures

The delivered PDF was built with pdfTeX 1.40.25 / TeX Live 2023, Python 3.12,
12-point Latin Modern type, letter paper, one-inch margins, and line spread 1.09.
Font and TeX distribution differences can alter pagination on another computer.

SCHOLARLY STATUS
This is a conceptual and analytical manuscript, not a completed empirical study.
It contains no finite model checks or proof-assistant formalizations. The figure
parameters are explicitly hypothetical and are not market data. Mathematical
derivations illustrate assumptions and non-implications; the concentration thesis
is not presented as a proved theorem.

The manuscript was prepared anonymously at the initiating researcher's direction,
with OpenAI ChatGPT assistance in drafting, reference discovery, exposition, and
typesetting. Human scholarly review remains necessary. No institutional
affiliation, peer review, editorial acceptance, or publication is claimed.

References were checked on 5 November 2026. The audit distinguishes accessible
primary material, publisher or author records, metadata-only checks, and secondary
reporting. In particular, the Reuters item reports on a confidential filing that
was not independently inspected. Linked editions and preprint versions are
identified in the bibliography to avoid conflating titles or publication dates.

SUBMISSION STATUS
The package has not been submitted. submission-draft.json is a short accompanying
synopsis, not a replacement for the complete PDF. It contains no credentials,
receipt, accepted-terms assertion, or fabricated artifact URL. A future submission
can attach the full PDF and this source package according to the journal's live
submission requirements.
