If one could pause long enough at that edge, at that heart of systems, one could hold the city in a prolonged silence and reshape its arteries—stop the trains until entire neighborhoods ran dry of electrons; freeze markets, transactions, debts; answer the hunger of many at the cost of stalling the many more who relied on steady flow. The band answered intentions, and intention could be coaxed. When time resumes, they recall nothing, yet the
