Framework Position
Node 8 sits within Sector 2: Energy / Infrastructure, one of the 28 sector architectures that together enumerate the complete 186-node extraction grid documented in the Architecture of Dependency and Autonomy™.
Every node in the grid extracts from Line 186 — the Sovereign Human. The individual is the terminal node where all institutional systems ultimately resolve.
