The Institutional Scaling Law: Non-Monotonic Fitness, Capability-Trust Divergence, and Symbiogenetic Scaling in Generative AI

Classical scaling laws model AI performance as monotonically improving with model size. We challenge this assumption by deriving the Institutional Scaling Law, showing that institutional fitness -- jointly measuring capability, trust, affordability, and sovereignty -- is non-monotonic in model scale, with an environment-dependent optimum N*(epsilon). Our framework extends the Sustainability Index of Han et al. (2025) from hardware-level to ecosystem-level analysis, proving that capability and tr
