The misused is still used. With enough force, every mechanism is capable of retroflexion. The leg turns from lever to fringe, a screen from fire to freezer, the tool come weapon. It’s not necessarily failure, it’s an engineered refrain. Nothing can be built to withstand everything. The universe has truck with machines used in ways the creator hadn’t intended, madstone lust for entropy. The typewriter has turned from vessel of annunciation to well oiled brick in a dry vitrine, but oxygen will find the iron on a long enough timescale. Our energies aren’t so much changing form as they are changing function.
