circuits
Norton's Theorem
Every complex network of attention and extraction can be reduced to a single source watching you, and the resistance you put up against it.
Every complex network of attention and extraction can be reduced to a single source watching you, and the resistance you put up against it.
Every complex network simplifies to a single source and resistance—including the one that's watching you.
In circuits and attention economies alike, what flows in must flow out—but the question is where it goes, and who controls the junction.
In a series circuit, current has only one path—and so do you, flowing through platforms designed to never let you break free.
In physics, a circuit requires a closed loop for energy to flow—but in the attention economy, you are both the conductor and the current being consumed.
