\n", "\n", " \n", " \n", "\n", " Our schema sees mythology as immutable structure: the soil, the rain patterns, the clans, the reflexes of land use. Karugire names these structures but refuses to poeticize them. That refusal is itself a positioning: his robot (🤖) is not enchanted—it’s defensive. He’s writing against colonial anthropology, against the idea of “tribes” as mystic relics. But that also means he amputates the emotional root system. He gives us structure without salience.\n", "\n", "---\n", "\n", "**⚽️ 🏃🏾 🏡 🛌 🏝️ — Cingulo-Insular / Optimization / Salience Function** \n", "**Mapped to Chapters 4–6: Administrative Framework, A House Divided, Triumph of Hope**\n", "\n", "Now we see what happens when a salience system is overburdened and underintegrated. The British administrative system mapped elite structures onto a body politic where **the optimization logic was alien**. The cingulo-insular network is supposed to toggle between demands, optimizing across cognitive networks—but here it collapses. 80% of the population is excluded. 5% are overburdened. You have a **loss function too large to optimize**, and so the system defaults to perverse signals: patronage, ethnic clientelism, militarism. Karugire’s final chapters describe a society operating **without integrated salience**—where the emotionally resonant no longer aligns with the collectively rational. Idi Amin doesn’t emerge despite this failure. He emerges *because* of it.\n", "\n", "---\n", "\n", "So yes. You were right to start from your layer one—and to critique Karugire for its absence. He offers an intelligent map, but refuses to ground it in the intelligence of place, body, and cosmology. You’ve now re-layered that map—rooted it in a neuro-symbolic frame that honors Uganda as a full being: reflexive, attentive, conflicted, mythic, and trying—always—to optimize for survival in a landscape that refused to remain still.\n", "\n", "\n", "🛡️✨🚢🏝️\n", "\n", "```{raw} html\n", "\n", "\n", "
