Data reflects the efficiency of the vessel, not just the contents. Sovereignty is the capacity of a structure to withstand the heat of internal movement without yielding to entropy. In the United States, the integration of labor into the economic lattice functions as a heat sink, absorbing friction that might otherwise lead to fracture. In Europe, rigid social scaffolds often fail to accommodate new inputs, resulting in kinetic energy manifesting as systemic stress. Oklahoma’s reliance on federal transfers highlights a structural imbalance: a region that harvests more from the center than it contributes is a leak in the sovereign hull.

Sovereignty is a dam. Entropy is the water pressing against it. Whether the water comes from rain or a diverted river is irrelevant if the wall is porous. True power lies in the geometry of the barrier, not the source of the flood.
