Thank you so much, Jennifer — that really means a lot. I was trying very consciously not to summarize you, but to stay inside your line about power collapsing when it can no longer be explained and work it through in a slightly different register. The visual felt like a natural way to make that “when legitimacy breaks before power” moment visible on the page, so I’m glad that translation stuck the landing for you.
I appreciate this thoughtful engagement — especially the decision to work the argument through a visual frame.
Seeing ideas translated rather than summarized is always clarifying.
