The implementation of Global Mandatory Utility Layering (GMUL) represents a foundational restructuring of human mobility infrastructure, necessitated by systemic climate failure. Traditional fixed transit networks—rail lines, dedicated roadways, and fixed port facilities—are increasingly rendered functionally obsolete by the acceleration of sea-level rise, increased frequency of Category 4+ superstorms, and persistent coastal inundation events. GMUL mandates that all primary global transit pathways must operate as highly adaptive utility layers, seamlessly integrating multiple domains (elevated, waterborne, subterranean, and aerial) into a unified, continuously operational network.
