A source-grounded reading of Jiang's central claim: late Inferno is where private vice hardens into social design.
Key Notes
An empire has three apparent advantages: mass, organization, and death, where death means enough resources and people to absorb repeated military losses.
The universal law of game theory is presented as mass times energy times coordination, with winners having the right combination of people, motivation, and ability to work together.
Coordination is the most important factor in the formula and is weighted at least three times as much as mass; energy is second and is weighted about twice as much as mass.
Mass should be measured not only as population but as cohesion: how much people like each other and will work together.
An empire has mass, organization, and strategic depth; a borderland lacks those but has compensating advantages that make interaction explosive.
