Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the Cyber Planner's strategic response to human intervention, demonstrating the escalating tension between human agency and cybernetic determinism. Vaughn's ultimatum in Ep 15 forces the Cyber Planner to abandon its original schedule, creating a direct causal chain between episodes.
