Solo trajectories

Hypothesis

If Sovereign Bunkering plays out broadly

At scale, communities increasingly opt into parallel legal, digital, or physical jurisdictions outside default nation-state governance, fragmenting what 'market' and 'jurisdiction' even mean.

If Preppers Go Prime plays out broadly

At scale, resilience and self-sufficiency products (power, water, food storage) become standard middle-class home purchases, sold through mainstream retail rather than niche survivalist channels.
