A Structural Model of Sovereign Accelerator Demand Under Classified Opacity

This paper reconstructs and resolves the widely circulated claim of a "global accelerator discrepancy," which alleged that Nvidia's reported Blackwell GPU shipments were inconsistent with revenue, power-capacity additions, and observable deployments. We show that the appearance of a discrepancy arises from three structural misunderstandings: (1) misinterpretation of die counts as complete GPUs, (2) incomplete visibility into sovereign and quasi-sovereign procurement channels, and (3) unrealistic assumptions about deployment timing and power-capacity allocation. After correcting for die-count semantics and incorporating plausible ranges of opaque sovereign demand, the purported multi-million-unit gap collapses. Appendix D provides a formal reconstruction of the discrepancy claim and demonstrates that once structural factors are accounted for, no residual anomaly remains. The analysis clarifies the limits of open-source inference in accelerator markets and provides a framework for distinguishing genuine supply anomalies from artifacts of incomplete visibility.
