The history books miss the most important lesson of that moment. Everyone saw the crash coming. Not the specific date, but the _wrongness_. The fevered speculation, the shoeshine boys giving stock tips, the pyramids of paper wealth built on foundations of vapor. These harbingers are signals, signals that precede storms. They saw the signs, the harbingers of the storm, but they lacked the language to name them.

We have that language now. It comes not from economics, but from physics, from the study of complex systems approaching a critical transition.If you have been feeling that something is fundamentally wrong with the world but could not articulate what, now you can. It is not anxiety. It is pattern recognition. Your brain is processing these harbingers even if you lack the vocabulary. That feeling of deep, systemic _wrongness_? That is your limbic system screaming that the water is about to boil.
