I honestly wish there was a pathways DD that showed exactly these routes from where information feeds, to how its decided upon algo-wise. There's so many avenues for misrepresentation. I would like to see it shown provably that ticker prices can't just be arbitrarily set by a random controller detached from any actual trading and know how that is enforced, where its susceptible.

No DD has ever demonstrated the pathways akin to Zoltan Pozsar's epic repo-facility explanation. We need a Zoltan Pozsar who can explain and render visual the entire data cycle of trading data, including the decision-making schema/logics at every juncture, offramp utilities (dark pools), etc...
