Scientific
Systems under high load flip their purpose (helping becomes hindering).
Practical
Rules meant to protect end up blocking people.
Low Load
Systems perform their intended function.
High Load
Systems reverse function entirely.
Misinterpretation
People assume the system is malicious.
It’s actually inverted.
Narrative Distortion
“The NHS doesn’t care.”
No — it is buckling under inversion.
Earth-2.0
Systems designed to avoid inversion through adaptive flow.
Tools
Inversion detection
Load-trigger thresholds
Summary
Under too much pressure, systems do the opposite of what they were built for.
