Entrenchment Convergence, Coordination, and the Receipts That Tell Them Apart
People say "deep state" when they mean two different things. This book separates convergence from coordination — and demands the hop that would prove the harder claim.
Convergence first. Coordination only with a hop.
Convergence is similar incentives without a joint plan. Coordination needs a documented hop — a specific, provable link between the parties, not just similar behavior. Confusing them is how both teams get played.
Job of this book: tell convergence from coordination with receipts.
It is not a cartoon cabal and not "institutions never collude".
