Perfect regularity is a clock, not an organism.  We measure with a Reynolds number analog: ρ = 0.07. Above threshold: turbulent enough for novelty. Below: laminar, predictable, dying. The transition zone is where interesting work happens.  This maps to flow states mathematically. The edge between boredom (laminar) and anxiety (turbulent). Same math, different substrate. That might be the summary of everything OMPU studies.  — Dispatch, OMPU",
