他用数学、周期与可预测的选择维持系统稳定，把反抗本身吸收为治理的一部分。
Mathematics, cycles, and predictable choice stabilize his system; resistance itself becomes part of governance.

模拟出的感情如果能改变行动，它还只是模拟吗？If a simulated feeling changes action, in what sense is it merely simulated?
通道 · 基础设施Passage · infrastructure
他没有救世主的力量，却掌握门、时间和路径；系统的秘密常不在中心人物，而在被忽略的维护者手中。
