Extraction is when regulation flows one-way
and calling it out causes an incident.

I wrote a post-mortem about that pattern.

I learned the hard way that words can be weapons.
(No trauma dump, you're good.)

Language is powerful.
Or as I like to say:
Language is load-bearing.

Words have real somatic impact.
They change nervous system state.
And yet tech treats it as.. vibes.
(Words make the body go brrr.)

What happens when language is treated with the same rigor as code?
When nervous system cost is not an abstract idea but part of the equation?
Which communicational failure modes become myths of the past?
(Static types for human language when?)

Imagine people asking:
"Why do you care about language so much?"

And the answer being:
"Because it works."

systemic.engineering explores what happens
when language stops being vibes
and is treated as infrastructure.

Because that's what language is:
The transport layer between divergent realities.
(Be they human or agentic.)

Reliability.
Consistent results under load.

#SiteReliabilityEngineering.
..

Your team is a #DistributedSystem.
Language is the transport layer.
And truth is local.
(Site.)

#TechDebt slows down delivery.
Decisions are unowned.
And people burn out.
(Reliability.)

Divergent realities are a primary (in)variant of human systems.
Linguistic precision counters entropy accruing ambiguity.
And coherence is regulative.
(Engineering.)

Agents enter the room.
Quick! What do you do?
..
(Don't look at me.)

Agents are non-embodied actors in human systems.
Agents receive context as input.
Agents decide, execute, loop.
Agents reduce complexity.
Until the END.

Who pays the embodied cost of AI-driven sense-making?
And why is it never the systems that scale it?
