Looking back from 2049, this recurring mechanism became known as the Structural Sedation Principle, one of the foundational explanatory laws within the emerging science of Structural Reconstructions.

From a 2049 perspective, many established practices survived not because they remained effective, but because their original reasons were no longer visible.
