For those not in the know on governance, there are international organizations formed around treaties for similar situations, the IAEA and OPCW come to mind. I'm not aware of simil…

Where does this leave formal verification? Are we just shit-out-of-luck at this point? You can formally verify everything about an airplane's code, but if any of that is wrong, Cha…
