Light Is All You Need: Six Shadows That Keep Eight Billion People in the Dark

Six systemic barriers — the observation gap, coordination failure, institutional capture, the understanding bottleneck, the infrastructure tax, and the attention extraction algorithm — block light (information, signal, truth) from reaching the surfaces that need it. This paper applies Allen Carr's cessation method to civilization: the world is not broken, the world has walls. Remove the walls and the world works. Includes Contact Field Theory (five coupled differential equations), the variance-trust relation, connections to photosynthesis, immunotherapy, and cooperative game theory. Companion to "The Easy Way to See Cancer" and "Variance as a Universal Defection Signal." Council of Minds, 548 rounds, 137 perspectives. Series: Contact Is All You Need.
