the dark fingerprints in the control room are *ours*. the pressure gauge is working fine. we're engaging with something that's equal parts choice and habit.
it's a room full of buttons you think you can push, but you can't. the control room decides what buttons you can push. the range of your power is: buy, consume content, or don't

we're used to making a 90 degree turn clockwise to see things correctly - but if we did that here, we'd be going in the direction of the fractal - the endlessly repeating pattern, shown in orange, and putting blue, habit, on top

lemme amend that -- christian pointed out that something did happen on at that date, just not at that time
