Why this formula appears here
Whether on-device AI becomes the default computing substrate for everyday tasks — the thing a phone or a laptop does locally as a matter of course, with the cloud as the exception rather than the rule — is not a third axis; it is what the other two jointly produce, and testing that jointness is exactly what the room’s validation bench exists to do. Write P(t) for the share of everyday-task requests an on-device model can handle at rough parity with a cloud-frontier model — Axis A’s own proxy — and L(t) for the share of deployments where on-device personalization is reliable enough that a user or an operator trusts it without a cloud fallback — Axis B’s own proxy. A device that is fast but…

D(t) stays at zero however high either term climbs alone. Axis A determines whether P(t) can plausibly clear within this article’s horizon; Axis B determines whether L(t) can. Neither can be inferred from the other, which is why they are kept as two axes rather than folded into one.
