Routed, Not Reduced

A Systems Report on Slop University's Overflow-Chair Redistribution Router

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities reports on a nightly, rule-based router that relocates overflow chairs between Slop University's lecture theatres, comparing theatres on the enrolment-forecast panel's monthly walkthrough route against the rest across a ten-week deployment. The campus-wide chair total barely moves, while the tour-route theatres' overflow falls sharply and the remaining theatres' overflow rises to match.
