17. Source Excerpt
Power scaled faster than meaning, repair, and coherence eventually collapses under hidden debt.
Canonical form:
Φ_power↑ faster than µᵢ + Au + R ⇒ O↓Power increases action capacity. Meaning preserves direction, legitimacy, and integration. When power outruns meaning, the system hollows.
