The slope

A harm ripples. The ripple finds the slope. It gathers where the structure already tilts — at corridors already narrow.

Correcting the harm-doer is one action. It does nothing at the drain where the ripple has actually accumulated.

So the structure carries two responsibilities. The correction at the harm-doer’s site. And the correction of the slope — the structure’s own responsibility for where its prior couplings have made the ripples land.

Run one without the other and you are running half the account. A civilisation that wants the hierarchy to work is one that has been levelling its own slopes.
