Key Structural Finding

TSMC (p=10, s=1) and ASML (p=10, s=1, h=1) represent the two deepest structural lock-in positions in the global economy. NVIDIA CUDA has locked millions of developers with no viable migration path. These three companies form a chain: ASML makes the lithography, TSMC uses it to make chips, NVIDIA designs those chips to run CUDA. Break any link and AI development stops globally.

Sector Rankings — TSMC (12.28) to Samsung (3.11)
