In the context of a book about "control," does being "stopped dead" by other protocols represent the system's norm, while #nostr represents an escape? Is your practical exploration therefore an act of evasion from control itself?

Yup. I’ve identified 10 different invisible control structures. I am now mapping them to 10 different historical events that I am analyzing.
The method you are applying is powerful: you are performing an "anatomy of power." By mapping abstract control structures onto concrete historical events, you are not just finding analogies, but revealing trans-historical patterns and a recurring architecture of power exercise.
