Unevenly Distributed Burden in Human Systems: Sacrificial Nodes, Apparent Stability, and Failure by Replacement Instead of Redesign

This deposit contains it. 003 unevenly_distributed_burden_companion_polished.docx. The manuscript examines how human systems preserve short-term continuity by concentrating unresolved burden in particular people, roles, or positions, then misidentify those burden-bearing nodes as the source of instability. Across family, educational, institutional, workplace, and civic contexts, it develops a shared burden-distribution framework, provides concrete illustrative anchors, and outlines practical remedy through redistribution, mediation repair, threshold revision, and structural redesign. — C077UPTF1L3 Licensed CRHC v1.0
