Status: OUT
As system distribution complexity increases, the read path becomes simultaneously more expensive (absorbing deferred consistency, lazy computation, and soft-delete interpretation costs) and more vulnerable (temporal correctness gaps and permissive safety enforcement compound at the same boundaries) — creating a correlation where the most burdened reads are also the least protected.
Both d4 nodes scale with system complexity; the emergent property is that read-path cost and read-path risk are correlated rather than independent
