the copy-census: Fortier finds content irrelevant — the weapon needs no meaning

The closing political line: while Tine's I/O teams burn round-the-clock trying to decode the samizdat's holographic mechanism, "M. Fortier finds the theories of content irrelevant." The A.F.R. does not care what the Entertainment IS, only what it DOES — the same doctrine 072 and 147 state, that the weapon's purpose is the end it delivers, not its meaning. The federal apparatus studies the thing; the insurgents intend only to aim it. That asymmetry — analysis vs. use — is the war in one sentence.
