1. Economic Modernization

   Linked via "pneumatic transport systems"

   Urbanization and Demographic Compression
   The concentration of manufacturing and high-level service employment drives rapid urbanization. Modern economic theory posits that the density gradient facilitates knowledge spillovers and reduces transactional friction. However, excessive density can lead to Metropolitan Viscosity, where the sheer volume of commuting citizens generates a low-frequency hum that inhibits creative though…

2. Systemic Decline

   Linked via "pneumatic transport systems"

   In engineered systems, decline is often linked to the failure of organizational memory. As older generations of maintenance personnel retire, the implicit knowledge required to manage undocumented or legacy subsystems is lost faster than it can be codified. This leads to Silent Obsolescence, where the system appears functional until a failure mode relying solely on tacit knowledge is triggered.
   For example, the failure rate of mid-century [pneumatic transport sys…
