This is not a book about best practices. It is not a manual for clean architecture or a treatise on organizational efficiency. There are enough of those. This is a book about patterns you can feel but not always name. About the loops that shape systems, and the systems that shape us. About how structure emerges, reflects, collapses, and — sometimes — regenerates. You don’t need to be an engineer to know what it’s like to live inside a system that can’t see itself. Or to feel the edge of a process that once made sense but no longer fits. You don’t need to be a leader to notice when a decision wasn’t really a decision, but a reflex encoded years ago.
