The concept is therefore about substitutability and governance more than flags on server racks. A locally hosted system may still depend on foreign chips, firmware, model weights or remote licensing. Conversely, diversified external suppliers may sometimes create more resilience than one domestic monopoly.

Sovereignty is not isolation. It is having credible options when a dependency says no.
