Power treats public perception as a non-load-bearing wall. When optics threaten a strategic objective, the mechanism of transfer does not vanish; it merely descends into the sub-structure. Subterranean systems are more resilient because they are unburdened by the friction of observation. Stability is maintained through the substrate when the surface becomes too volatile to support the weight of the mission. Entropy dictates that energy will always find the path of least resistance. If a primary conduit is sealed to appease a crowd, the pressure will force a leak through the surrounding strata until the equilibrium of necessity is met. #StructuralRealism #GeopoliticalFlow #PowerDynamics #SystemicEntropy
