Engineered Containment: How Systems Design the Boundaries of Failure
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This conceptual illustration visualizes the architecture of Engineered Containment as a minimalist, high-contrast institutional structure. The image depicts a system with visible outer walls and hidden internal compartments, emphasizing how failure is choreographed to remain peripheral. A controlled failure path is illuminated, showing sacrificial nodes and narrative choke points, while the core infrastructure remains untouched. The design evokes a blueprint-like aesthetic, reinforcing the essay’s argument that containment is not reactive but pre-designed. This image complements the essay’s diagnostic mapping of opacity, exposure, and moral technology within institutional governance.
