Compute is the next American substrate.
We must view it not as fleeting AI hype or commoditized cloud racks, but as a strategic national resource, an advanced capability essential for our economic prosperity and national security.
A sovereign computational substrate is the tool that will help us shape the Nation and her trajectory.
We have numerous historical parallels: from the Homestead Act (land), to the Rural Electrification Act (energy) to the Interstate Highway System (mobility), and ARPANET/NSFNET (connectivity), we’ve consistently bet on the substrate.
With each bet, we’ve ignited a Cambrian explosion of innovation and prosperity serving our common good.
In our era, the "frontier" is no longer just a physical thing -- it's the horizon of complexity.
To reach it, we must master this new substrate.
