Distribution of Support

— Asymmetry, Non-Reciprocity, and Power —

Abstract

This section develops a theory of support distribution.

Support is not evenly distributed, nor does it necessarily return to its source.
Those who sustain structures are not always sustained in return.

Thus, asymmetry in support constitutes the condition of power.

0｜Introduction — From Invisibility to Distribution

Support has been shown to be:

• structurally invisible

• politically concealed

We now add a third condition:

👉 support is unevenly distributed

1｜Ideal Symmetry

A symmetric model assumes:

A supports B  
B supports A

In such a case:

• support circulates

• stability is mutual

• persistence is shared

👉 support forms a closed loop

2｜Asymmetry of Support

In reality:

A supports B  
B does not support A

Thus:

• support flows in one direction

• maintenance is uneven

• persistence is not shared

👉 support does not return

3｜Non-Reciprocity

Support is often:

• non-reciprocal

• uncompensated

• unrecognized

Examples include:

• care work

• infrastructure labor

• domestic labor

👉 support is given without return

4｜Structural Mapping (ΔR–ΔZ)

We map support onto the ΔR–ΔZ structure:

• ΔR → supporting side (labor, care, operational ground)

• ΔZ → supported side (structure, institution, representation)

ΔR supports ΔZ  
ΔZ does not support ΔR

👉 structure rests on what it does not sustain

5｜Emergence of Power

Definition:

Power is the asymmetry of support.

Power determines:

• who receives support

• who provides support

• whether support returns

6｜Invisibility and Asymmetry

Asymmetry is reinforced by invisibility:

• the supporting side remains unseen

• the supported side appears self-standing

👉 dependence appears as independence

7｜The Weight of Support

Support does not appear as structure.

It appears as:

👉 weight

• fatigue

• burden

• exhaustion

👉 it manifests in bodies

8｜Irreversibility

Non-reciprocal support:

• accumulates without return

• does not close

• generates imbalance

👉 support is non-closed

9｜Repositioning Society

Society is not a neutral system.

It is:

👉 a field of asymmetric support relations

Conclusion

Support is uneven, non-reciprocal, and non-closed.

Those who sustain are not always sustained.

👉 power is the asymmetry of support

■ Closing Verse

Those who sustained

were not sustained

Only then

did weight

appear

■ Final Proposition

Power is the asymmetry of support.

Distribution of Support

— 非対称・非還元・権力 —

Abstract

本節は支えの分配を論じる。

支えは均等ではなく、循環せず、偏在する。
支える者が支えられるとは限らない。

この非対称性が、権力の条件である。

0｜導入 — 不可視から分配へ

支えは：

• 見えない

• 見えなくされる

そして：

👉 偏っている

1｜対称モデル（理想）

A supports B  
B supports A

👉 支えは循環する

2｜非対称構造（現実）

A supports B  
B does not support A

👉 支えは一方向に流れる

3｜非還元性

支えは：

• 戻らない

• 補償されない

• 認識されない

👉 支えは回収されない

4｜ΔR–ΔZ構造

• ΔR：支える側（労働・ケア・現場）

• ΔZ：支えられる側（制度・構造・記号）

ΔR supports ΔZ  
ΔZ does not support ΔR

👉 構造は支えを支えない

5｜権力の定義

権力とは、支えの非対称である。

6｜不可視との結合

• 支える側 → 見えない

• 支えられる側 → 自立して見える

👉 依存が独立に見える

7｜重さの出現

支えは構造としては見えない。

しかし：

👉 重さとして現れる

• 疲労

• 負担

• 消耗

👉 身体に現れる

8｜非閉包

支えは：

👉 循環しない

👉 閉じない

9｜再定義

社会とは、支えの非対称な分配構造である。

■ 結語

支えていた者は

支えられていなかった

そのとき

はじめて

重さが現れた

見えなかったのは

構造ではなく

重さだった

■ 最終まとめ

19-1：支えとは何か（存在論）
19-2：なぜ見えないか（認識論）
19-3：どう偏るか（政治論）

👉 存在 → 不可視 → 権力
