Not technocracy

Technocracy makes the credential the authority. The structure makes the geometry the authority. An expert’s reading matters if and only if it tracks the geometry. A credential correlates with fidelity. It does not confer it.

So every reading must be transparent, contestable and bias-audited — the three conditions from Chapter Two. And where the credentialing itself fails the audit — excluding readers who can read, including readers who cannot, captured by interests other than the room — the credentialing is parasitic at its own site.

This is not anti-expertise. Expertise is real. It is a condition, not a source.
