What Europe is doing:
* Trying to become a self-standing security & energy OS for its own region.
* Building “strategic autonomy” in defense, industry, and tech, with massive climate and grid re-architecture.
* Shouldering Ukraine as an entropy sink: fiscal transfers, arms, refugees, reconstruction planning.

Bridge360 reading:
* Europe is forced into high governance workload just to keep its immediate neighborhood from collapsing.
* That uses a huge chunk of its entropy budget (defense + energy + politics), leaving less room to calmly run the global OS.

Result:
* Europe likely stabilizes as a strong regional OS, a Band B regulatory + climate kernel.
* But its front-line position vs Russia and internal fragmentation block it from becoming the global OS core.

===== What Japan is doing: =====
* Re-defining itself as an economic-security hub: secure supply chains, critical tech, energy, semiconductors.
* Using “strategic indispensability”: making it very costly for US or EU to run a world economy without Japanese/East Asian manufacturing and tech inputs.
* Tightly coupling with US security while building dense trade & tech ties to Europe and ASEAN+3.

Bridge360 reading:
* Japan/East Asia Shield becomes the “operational spine” of the GOS: - If this cluster fails, physical trade and advanced production jam. - If it holds, the global economy can still move, even with Washington in Band C and Europe overstressed.

Result:
'' The Global Operating System doesn’t “move to Japan” in a legal sense, but: - The OS ''functions* (manufacturing, secure supply chains, strategic tech) increasingly depend on Tokyo/East Asia Shield staying coherent. - That’s exactly what you’re describing as the GOS migrating from Washington to Tokyo, not Beijing.
