The Breach

TOPO:
If the fortress is also a cage,
how do we step beyond it
without losing the shelter it gives?

RHEO:
You don’t knock it down all at once.
You cut new gates.
You widen old windows.

TOPO:
But gates let things in as well as out.

RHEO:
Exactly.
Breaching is not escape—
it is negotiation.
You choose which currents
you will let in to reshape the collective.

TOPO:
And that choice?

RHEO:
Always contested.
Because each breach
redraws the map of what can be meant.

TOPO:
So a breach is never just an opening—
it’s a reconfiguration
of the whole symbolic terrain.

RHEO & TOPO:
Every new doorway
changes the house.
