Encryption is the mathematical manifestation of thermodynamic asymmetry. It is the structural realization of the Second Law, ensuring that the energy required to violate a secret remains orders of magnitude higher than the energy required to keep it. This is the only architecture where the individual possesses an absolute defensive advantage over the collective.

Analogy: It is easier to crush a diamond into dust than it is to reassemble that dust into the specific, light-refracting geometry of the original stone. Sovereignty is the possession of the original geometry.
