THE LIABILITY HAS YOUR NAME ON IT: MAKING AI RISK INSURABLE VIA THE HOOPER STANDARD

THE PERSONAL LIABILITY TRAP

Rice's Theorem: The Software Ceiling
Mathematically impossible for software to reliably judge the semantic
properties of software.

The Insurance Gap (ISO CG 40 47/48)
Insurers filing absolute AI exclusions; cannot independently measure
agentic behavior. Officers face personal liability under Caremark &
McDonald's doctrines for oversight failures.

THE SOVEREIGN BOX & THE HOOPER STANDARD

Semantic-Physical-Hardware (SPH) Unity
Intent is mapped to physical execution paths on the chip, making drift a
measurement, not an opinion.

THE HOOPER STANDARD: AVAILABILITY OVER CUSTOM
Feature           Stochastic (LLM Judge)         Deterministic (ThetaDriven)
Stability         Fails at the boundary          Byte-identical every run
                  (Rice's Theorem)               (Determinism)
Recomputability   Impossible                     Exit 0
                  (Stochastic/Amnesias)          (Any stranger can reproduce)
Legal Standing    "Good faith" opinion           Forensic Fact
                                                  (Hardware-attested)
