Dedication
For the builders, operators and dreamers — human and artificial.
With due respect to the first Martian astronauts and the visionary
billionaires — they already have the statues, memoirs and street
names. These codex are for my tribe: the thousands of nameless
engineers and operators who make the system work, one gasket,
plan entry and late-night fire-drill fix at a time.
