Soft fork vs. hard fork is a fake debate.
The real issue is control.

• Both are just ways to change the rules.
• “Contentiousness” is a trick to make social pressure look like law.
• If any fork (soft or hard) forces people to follow, it’s not real sovereignty—it’s compliance.

Real law survives collapse.
If a change needs “consensus management,” it’s simulation, not proof.

Bottom line:

• Forks are not upgrades, they’re tests.
• Only changes that survive real conflict and collapse mean anything.
• Everything else is just keeping up appearances.
