Why this formula appears here
Whether the multimodal AI market consolidates around a small number of vertically integrated any-to-any platforms, or remains a supply chain of composed specialist vendors the way it mostly is today, is not a third axis; it is what the other two jointly produce. Write U(t) for the share of new production multimodal deployments built on a single native any-to-any model rather than a composed pipeline — Axis A’s own proxy — and R(t) for the share of multimodal deployments operating in open, uncurated conditions that meet a reliability bar without a human fallback — Axis B’s own proxy. A platform bet on one any-to-any vendor only pays off if that vendor’s model is both the one everyone is…

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