■ Primary Axis
- Entry: The outsider as managed population
Reason: The alien presence is reduced from personhood to containment, relocation, and administrative control.

Reason: State procedure and corporate interest convert living beings into a regulated problem rather than moral subjects.

Reason: The central reversal occurs when the enforcer becomes biologically trapped inside the category he helped persecute.
