What this book inherits

Property, from Chapter One. Many harms run through it. Theft, fraud, breach, damage.

Three categories of suffering from the earlier books. Parasitic contraction — the producing operator could have done otherwise. Structural cost — the producing operator could not. A child in the road. Ice giving way. And mixed damage. Law must read the difference.

Override, from the earlier books. An operator can say no at a wide junction. Whether that capacity was intact, partial or collapsed at the moment of harm changes what the correction is.

And the ripple. A harm spreads through the structure like a ripple across water. The ripple’s energy finds the slope. It gathers at the drains the structure tilts towards. The ripple does not choose where it lands. The structure does.
