This module establishes the root-level distinction between ideological crisis (content-layer failure) and meaning collapse (infrastructural failure). The distinction is operational, not definitional—it must route intervention correctly. Misdiagnosis of meaning collapse as ideological crisis causes strategies that accelerate collapse by increasing throughput on a depleted substrate.
