THE CLUSTER
The grouping of Form in proximity. The Cluster is not community, not tribe, and not The Delusion of Belonging. It gathers where nearness answers exposure, and it developed from The Fear of being isolated. What The Fear added was requirement. The Cluster does not select. It absorbs. What keeps The Cluster intact becomes what The Cluster requires, and requirement hardens into The Role. The System formalizes what The Cluster already enforces. The Cluster cannot persist without Forgetting.
