Waterways themselves offer compelling evidence against static design; maintenance logs trace decades of small corrections responding to the river’s unpredictable nature—each adjustment a negotiation with its flow. Such records demonstrate that control doesn't impose order so much as foster an evolving system, where accumulated interventions and emergent behaviors outweigh original plans. The infrastructure bears the weight of these past choices, layering possibilities onto each other; agency isn’t simply enacted but resides within sustained engagement with time’s drift, echoing ancient understandings of becoming.
