Fictional setting. No real-world entities or governments. A black-box “parade” scores people. I build decoy formations so the machine sees what isn’t there. In a fictional city, the public “parade” is a black-box scoring ritual. Drafted into a shadow unit, I craft invisible formations and decoys. One red-light delay proves the box can be fooled. From then on, I bend queues and jam the scorer—to lead people out of the box.
