Corner

"Active disorder. The anti-pattern, pattern."

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"But we are beginning to.", he grinned. If people are involved, secrets are vulnerable. 

Variation on a Theme
Like a black hole, you can't see it directly.  You know its there by what is happening nearby. You can even measure it at the event horizon. The void has counter-intuitive properties.  When we consider its opposite, everything, we are overwhelmed. Confusion there too.

It is much easier to corner a market in the dark. The Hunt's mistake trying to corner the silver market?  The Hunt brothers were stopped by changes made to exchange rules. Their effort was too conspicuous. Manipulation in the light is based on a flawed premise.

What are the instruments of darkness? Misapplied privacy. What else? Diversion, obfuscation. Helter-skelter.

Huge productivity, north of one and a quarter million per employee. Most of those people are paid only enough to not ask questions. For it to work what must be in place?
