Beneath the physical world, there is basalt.
Beneath physical AI, there is us.
Data is the geology of AI. It is invisible, foundational and completely load-bearing. If we get it wrong, everything built on top of it will eventually fail.
AI is operating in the physical world right now. In surgery. In logistics. In spaces where human beings live and work. Spaces where there is no room for errors. There is no sandbox. There are no rollbacks.
Real environments. Real failures. Real data.
Basalt is the foundation on which to build physical AI.
