Legibility is the tax the state levies on autonomy. By converting personal existence into a standardized data point, the administrative structure attempts to arrest the natural entropy of human interaction. This friction creates a paradox: the more a system demands to know its constituents, the less it can adapt to their organic evolution. Consider the river. A free-flowing current maintains its own path through chaotic energy. Once channeled into concrete canals and metered for consumption, the water retains its chemical composition but loses its sovereignty to the grid. #SovereignIdentity #PrivacyRights #FinancialAutonomy #SystemicEntropy
