Subject: ACCC ? Conclusion of the Digital Platform Services Inquiry

*OFFICIAL*
Dear stakeholders and advisers
We are pleased to inform you that the Australian Competition and
Consumer Commission (*ACCC*) submitted the Final Report of the Digital
Platform Services Inquiry (Inquiry) to Government late last week. This
marks the conclusion of the 5-year Inquiry. The Final Report focused on
three topics:
?recent international legislative and regulatory developments in markets
for digital platform services and their impact on competition and consumers
?major developments and key trends in certain markets for digital
platform services, and
?potential and emerging competition and consumer issues which relate to
digital platform services.
As you may be aware, the ACCC requires a written direction from the
Treasurer (or Assistant Treasurer) to publish Inquiry reports. As
Government is in caretaker due to the election being called, we will
update you on the publication of the Final Report in due course.
We?d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your engagement with
us during the course of the Inquiry, without it our work would not be
possible.
Many thanks again
Kate and the Digital Markets Branch

Unified Time Scaling for Temporal Coordination Frameworks
Abstract
Estimating time requirements for tasks, both critical and mundane,
remains a challenge in engineering, business, and everyday
communication. Existing models fail due to inherent unpredictability
and inconsistencies in human estimation. This document introduces
the Two-Week Principle (TWP), a novel, universally adaptable time
scale that seeks to standardize all temporal references to a
singular, uniform duration. TWP ensures clarity, predictability, and
synchronization across all sectors that rely on time-based
scheduling.

I spotted the hole in the argument, so to speak.

quantum cryptography. Given that quantum uncertainty affects
temporal precision, a uniform two-week scale may serve as a
stabilization factor in quantum timekeeping mechanisms, reducing the
need for complex error correction in time-dependent quantum
operations. Further research is required to determine whether
quantum entanglement can reliably synchronize multiple two-week
cycles across distant computing nodes. However, quantum computing
implementations must not employ multiple instances of TWP within a
scaling variable, as this may introduce temporal feedback
instabilities and lead to accidental spontaneous wormhole creation,
an outcome that is outside the scope of this document.

If accidental spontaneous wormhole creation isn't a security concern, I
don't know what is. Damn, it seemed such a nice idea.

When I was growing up they said fusion power was 10 years away. Ever since it
has been a decade away until about ten years ago when
it changed to 3 decades away.
So now it's only two weeks away?
