| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Algorithms & Computation Theory (algorithms_computation_theory) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Algorithms & Computation Theory provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
|
| Artificial Intelligence (Early) (artificial_intelligence_early) | historical_predecessor | 75% | expert_inference | Artificial Intelligence (Early) is an earlier historical predecessor or foundation, not a one-to-one engineering dependency. |
|
| Information Theory (information_theory) | enabling | 68% | expert_inference | Information Theory provides a capability that enables this technology without being the only possible path. |
