core核心畫面

Picture the departure board at an airport after a storm: rows of delayed and cancelled, people sitting on their suitcases. Nothing has been destroyed, but the normal running of things has stopped. Disruption is the name for that state — the gap between how things should be going and how they are actually going.

可以想成：暴風雨過後機場的班次看板，一整排 delayed 和 cancelled，旅客坐在行李箱上等。沒有東西被毀掉，只是原本該順順運轉的一切停住了。disruption 就是替這個狀態取的名字——「本來該怎麼跑」和「現在實際怎麼跑」之間的那個落差。
