Vectors

Choices fade as the switch is thrown. The power is in potential. Our energy, once released, can’t be kept from its consequences — electrons follow the path they were put on. The resources and strategies we store up are magic in their batteries — cells filled with differential energy, awaiting a closed circuit to unleash them on one another. Choices about leadership are calculated in competency, in style, in procedure — but they are actually about vectors. There are niggles to be armwrestled over, but they don’t change the probability curve effects of a magnitude in a particular direction.
