The American Discovery Fabric · A proposed national strategy
A nation of builders.Equipped for what’s next.
A proposed national network connecting scientific tools, regional manufacturing, and independent enterprise—so more Americans can take an idea through engineering, production, and a first customer.
SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCEAMERICAN INDUSTRYINDEPENDENT ENTERPRISE
The national proposition
A laboratory within reach. A factory within reach.
Ownership in the builder’s hands.
America’s laboratories, industrial firms, universities, and entrepreneurs hold extraordinary capabilities. The American Discovery Fabric proposes a practical connection between them: intelligent simulation at the point of work, trusted evidence between institutions, and a path from a serious idea to a product, a purchase, or a new company.
The first step: competitive regional demonstrations around a customer-defined industrial challenge, with independent evaluation and measurable public value.
Federated Industrial Capitalism
Shared capability. Independent initiative.
Build infrastructure at the scale it needs. Give more people the ability to use it. Keep the freedom to own, choose, compete, and create.
Federate the work
Connect independently governed institutions through clear responsibilities and portable evidence. Share authorized results while keeping sensitive work under its owner’s control.
Decentralize opportunity
Let founders, engineers, manufacturers, and local teams direct the work, choose qualified partners, own their contributions, and form independent companies.
The twenty-first-century garage
From an idea to something America can build.
The garage is where initiative and ownership begin. The Fabric would put the wider scientific and industrial system within reach of that small team.

Proposed participant journey · People retain authority at consequential decisions.
The policy agenda
Make the complete journey a national priority.
Launch competitive regional demonstrations, fund the full route from engineering to use, and make portable evidence and independent ownership conditions of participation. Six actions would put this strategy to work.
- 01
Launch competitive regional pilots
Bring small businesses, laboratories, universities, manufacturers, and mission owners together around specific industrial challenges.
- 02
Put scientific intelligence within reach
Fund access to local tools, training, technical support, and secure operating environments so smaller teams can do serious work.
- 03
Make evidence reusable
Support interoperable evidence and independent review, with clear rights and acceptance requirements across institutional boundaries.
- 04
Build through existing regional strength
Connect manufacturers and technical schools to national expertise. Include skilled operators, technicians, and apprentices as delivery partners.
- 05
Fund the transition to use
Tie funding to milestones that move promising results through fabrication, testing, first customers, and company formation.
- 06
Protect independence and competition
Make data control, IP ownership, provider choice, and the ability to leave with lawful assets explicit conditions of participation.
A proposed demonstration
Start with a useful result. Earn the right to scale.
Choose a bounded engineering or manufacturing challenge, establish today’s baseline, and agree what the customer will accept before the work begins.
Phase 01
Deliver one accepted result
Bring together a problem owner, a scientific team, a qualified producer, and an independent evaluator. Complete one useful journey from need to accepted result.
Decision: does the customer accept the outcome?Phase 02
Prove the work can transfer
Repeat the workflow with another qualified partner. Evaluate continuity, evidence reuse, and the participant’s ability to change providers.
Decision: can the work travel without losing control or meaning?Phase 03
Demonstrate repeatable value
Compare repeated work against the original baseline. Expand participation where quality, economics, customer demand, and local capability justify it.
Decision: do repeat outcomes justify wider investment?The public-value scorecard
- Time to accepted outcome
- Total cost per accepted outcome
- Independent quality review
- Qualified supplier participation
- Continuity and provider choice
- Skilled workforce and repeat demand
National strength, practical applications
Build productive capacity where it matters.
Industrial competitiveness
Help smaller manufacturers and engineering teams move from analysis to qualified tools, components, and production improvements.
Defense industrial resilience
Begin with engineering, inspection, maintenance, and sustainment workflows. Broaden the qualified supplier base while preserving human authority and sensitive information.
Energy and scientific progress
Connect researchers and regional industry around energy systems, materials, research instruments, and other demanding engineering needs.
Our proposed implementation
Intelligent simulation at the point of work.
Our proposed contribution is the scientific layer: PrimeRadiants, domain terminals, and local Terminus Station deployments. Participating institutions would bring production, independent evaluation, regional coordination, and capital.
PrimeRadiants ASI
The physical-intelligence platform connects scientific models to engineering decisions and independently replayable results.
Explore the productPrimeRadiant Terminals
Engineering applications put the platform to work across fusion, space, electromagnetics, materials, quantum, and hypersonics.
Explore the productTerminus Station
The hardware on which our terminals run keeps scientific execution inside the participant’s operating boundary.
Explore the productThe proposed Fabric is a competitive federation: institutions retain their mandates, participants choose qualified providers, and independent reviewers assess results.

Understanding the proposal
Questions worth asking.
What is the American Discovery Fabric?
A national strategy proposed by Jason Tadros of Tadros Industries and presented here by Intelligent Simulation. It connects scientific intelligence, manufacturing, evidence, and enterprise so more Americans can turn serious ideas into accepted capability. The next step is to develop focused demonstrations with policy, industry, research, and capital partners.
What is available today, and what is proposed?
PrimeRadiants, the six domain terminals, and Terminus Station form Intelligent Simulation’s product portfolio. The American Discovery Fabric is the proposed national framework connecting scientific tools with independent institutions, manufacturing, and enterprise. We are seeking partners to shape focused demonstrations of that wider model.
What does “federated” mean?
Independent participants work together while retaining responsibility for their people, data, facilities, and decisions. Shared infrastructure expands what they can do; clear ownership, provider choice, and portable records preserve their independence.
Does participation require putting sensitive work in the cloud?
The proposed model starts with local control. Sensitive work stays within its authorized environment, including disconnected operating contexts where needed. Participants decide what evidence may cross a boundary and who may receive it.
How should policy reduce the burden on small suppliers?
Our policy position favors reusable evidence, independent assessment, and recognition of valid common-control evidence. Security assurance and operational resilience should each be evaluated on their own merits. The aim is stronger assurance with less duplicated work, while contractors retain control of raw information.
How would success be measured?
By the time and total cost of an accepted outcome, technical quality, resilient operations, stronger suppliers, skilled participation, and repeat customer demand. A pilot should publish useful findings where the participating institutions authorize disclosure.
