A chain-of-thought trace is inherently codified, so it cannot form a tacit moat the way embodied know-how can

Reed & DeFillippi (1990): tacitness, complexity, and specificity generate causal ambiguity that raises barriers to competitive imitation

David Autor's 'Polanyi's paradox' names why tasks that demand tacit judgment resist automation while codifiable tasks do not

Codification is the shared hinge between automation and imitation: the same non-codifiability is an obstacle in CANONIC and a moat in EUV

Chain-of-thought is the anti-EUV: reasoning is inherently codified, so it distills cheaply and can't form a tacit moat — hiding the trace is manufactured secrecy

Polanyi's paradox is the shared root of the CANONIC ledger and the EUV moat: codification is what makes knowledge both automatable and copyable, so the tacit residue resists both
