■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Can discovery remain controllable after its consequences exceed its makers?
Reason: Technical success immediately creates ethical and causal instability.
Related Film: Pi - Middle: Can rational calculation survive recursive self-interference?
Reason: Each intervention generates new uncertainty inside the system being controlled.
Related Film: Timecrimes - Core: Can the self remain intact after time becomes a tool of possession?
Reason: The experiment turns cooperation into rivalry, concealment, and identity fracture.
Related Film: Predestination
■ Secondary Axes
- Private invention and moral isolation: Innovation occurs outside public oversight and collapses into hidden exploitation.
Related Film: Ex Machina - Iteration and irreversible divergence: Repetition does not restore order but multiplies incompatible versions of causality.
