COORDINATION WITHOUT COMMAND
“If engineers can coordinate around elected or appointed bodies whenever they say safety requires it, we have built another unelected government.”
Engineers, fields, depots and a pumping station coordinate through visible local state rather than one new citywide command. The convoy succeeds, but the custodians immediately challenge the accountability and legality of the network that made the coordination possible.
Revised chapter evidence: paragraph 78, paragraph 181, paragraph 260, paragraph 349
