Are you trying to say that the Constitution united 13 sovereign nations into a single sovereign nation?

Here, a non-recognized "de facto" state that came together to form a valid Nation State... That is the proper term for the 13 colonies, non-recognized "de facto" states... I can live with that... in today's world (Somaliland), even though Israel recognized them this past month.

"Free, sovereign, and independent states" describe nations with ultimate authority over their territory and people, governing themselves without external control, able to make their own laws, manage economies, conduct foreign relations, and be recognized as equals by other countries, embodying self-determination and supreme power within their borders.

A side of 100 years left... That is not long...

Sibelco, a major operator at Spruce Pine, estimates its quartz reserves could last over 100 years, with current expansions aiming to secure supply for the critical semiconductor and solar industries for decades to come, though exact years vary by company and reserve assessment. The finite nature of this high-purity quartz (HPQ) resource means long-term planning and increased capacity are crucial as global demand for electronics and solar power grows

Came close to happening

Hurricane Helene (September 2024) caused severe flooding, power outages, and road damage in Spruce Pine, NC, forcing a temporary shutdown of two crucial high-purity quartz mines operated by Sibelco and The Quartz Corp. These mines provide 70-90% of the world's specialized quartz needed to make crucibles for silicon wafer production. Despite initial fears of a major tech supply chain crisis, operations began restarting within weeks.

China has created chips without silicon... video...

Chinese researchers at Peking University have developed revolutionary silicon-free transistors using 2D materials, like bismuth oxyselenide, achieving faster speeds (up to 40% faster than leading silicon chips) and lower power use, representing a major shift away from traditional silicon-based chip technology. This "lane change" in materials science could bypass silicon's limitations and is being explored for next-generation computing, potentially leading to faster, more efficient processors for AI and other applications.

https://www.livescience.com/technol...could-soon-be-used-to-make-silicon-free-chips

Researchers in China say they have created a new silicon-free transistor that could significantly boost performance while reducing energy consumption. The team says this development represents a new direction for transistor research.

The scientists said that the new transistor could be integrated into chips that could one day perform up to 40% faster than the best existing silicon processors made by U.S. companies like Intel. This is according to a report in the South China Morning Post (SCMP).

Despite that dramatic increase in power, the researchers claim that such chips would also draw 10% less power. The scientists outlined their findings in a recent study published Feb. 13 in the journal Nature.

Make transistors out of a lot of stuff.

The problem is scaling. There is a whole ecosystem dedicated to silicon, anything else has to be built from scratch. Another is workarounds like chiplets, instead of one large silicon chip, lots of small silicon chips are interconnected which solves a lot of problems like cooling and yield.

Project Panama: Inside Anthropic’s secret race to scan millions of physical books

According to court filings obtained by The Washington Post, the company spent tens of millions of dollars over the course of a year to purchase millions of books and physically dismantle them by cutting off their spines. The pages were then scanned to feed vast quantities of information into the AI models powering products like the popular chatbot Claude.

The previously undisclosed details of Project Panama were revealed in more than 4,000 pages of documents related to a copyright lawsuit brought by authors against Anthropic, which investors recently valued at $183 billion. While the company agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement in August to resolve the case, a district judge’s decision last week to unseal a series of related documents has provided a clearer picture of Anthropic’s aggressive pursuit of literary data.

"Project Panama AI" could refer to a few different initiatives, but the most prominent recent news involves a secretive book-scanning operation by the AI company Anthropic. It is also the name of a major OpenJDK initiative for Java interoperability that supports AI development.

Project Panama by Anthropic
Recently unsealed court documents from a copyright lawsuit revealed details of a clandestine operation by the AI startup Anthropic, which was code-named "Project Panama".

• Objective: The project's stated goal in internal documents was to "destructively scan all the books in the world" to train its AI models, such as the Claude chatbot.
• Method: Anthropic reportedly spent tens of millions of dollars buying millions of physical used books, using a hydraulic cutting machine to slice off their spines, scanning the pages, and then sending the remains to recycling companies.
• Secrecy: Internal documents emphasized secrecy, with one planning note stating, "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this".
• Legal Context: The details emerged in a copyright lawsuit brought by authors. The company settled the case for $1.5 billion in August 2025, without admitting wrongdoing. A judge ruled that the use of legally purchased books for AI training might be considered "fair use," but the company also faced scrutiny for illegally downloading millions of books from shadow libraries like LibGen prior to launching the scanning project.

Project Panama in Java Development
Project Panama is also a long-running, official OpenJDK initiative (managed by Oracle and the Java community) aimed at improving interoperability between the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and native code.

• Objective: It aims to replace the complex and error-prone Java Native Interface (JNI) with a more efficient, safer, and pure-Java mechanism for calling foreign functions and accessing native memory.
• AI Relevance: This project is significant for AI/ML development in Java because it allows Java applications to seamlessly leverage high-performance native libraries (including those for GPU acceleration) that were previously difficult to integrate, making Java a more viable platform for enterprise-grade AI applications.
• Status: The main features, including the Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API, have been integrated into recent JDK releases.
