The universe operates in seamless flow.
The intellect operates by chopping that flow into parts.
Taxonomy is the architecture of control.
We construct a scaffold of concepts to stabilize the tremors of existence.
We build a framework of logic.
A blueprint of boundaries.
But a cage built of concepts requires no iron bars to keep the prisoner inside.
The structure grows self-reinforcing.
The system mistakes the map for the territory.
The walls of the fortress gradually collapse inward.
The architecture of order becomes the anatomy of confinement.
The builder is crushed by the very bricks designed to keep the chaos out.
