Attention migrates firstThe migrating quantity here is attention, not settlement — watch-time, handling, and reference rerouting from incumbent channels to the object, mostly privately, before any public account exists.
Incumbent anger is a rungPushback from the incumbent attention economy — dismissal, then mockery, then anger — is part of the registered sequence; the reaction confirms the migration is being felt, and it arrives before the shared story does.
Same ladder as the marketThe rungs mirror the monetary sequence one-for-one: friction, migration, the incumbent break, movement before narrative, language, amplification, forced participation — the same ordering claim, applied to the cultural object.
Independent hands onlyThe object climbs only on observations the founder does not own or echo; founder-owned, direct-echo, attributable, and unknown-exposure readings are shown separately, because the founder can influence this series.
The cost of ignoringThe top rung, forced participation, is reached when urgency, exclusion-cost, and relief-on-entry language rises — when more people speak as if waiting has a cost and saying nothing becomes the expensive choice.
Language, not a mindThe sequence reads public language only; it is never evidence of coercion, diagnosis, mania, loss of agency, or anyone's mental state — and recognition confirms the ordering, it does not create it.
