■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Citizen as contamination risk
Reason: The crisis begins when ordinary people are reclassified as possible biological threats.
Related Film: The Andromeda Strain - Middle: Protection as coercive violence
Reason: The attempt to save the population becomes indistinguishable from military occupation.
Related Film: Outbreak - Core: Authority losing the right to define sanity
Reason: The infected and the uninfected become difficult to separate while the state itself behaves irrationally.
Related Film: Contagion
■ Secondary Axes
- Emergency command as social disintegration: Institutional response accelerates the collapse of civilian order.
Related Film: 28 Days Later - Human identity under outbreak logic: Fear turns the body into evidence and the person into a containment object.
