The menu offers choices. The day has room for only one of them.
In Erosion of Privacy, alternatives remain visible while becoming less practical. A route takes longer. A process adds effort. Following the recommendation makes everything smoother again.
Harper distinguishes between an option being available and being viable. Evelyn has to live inside that distinction. DeShawn sees it reflected in improving metrics.
Meanwhile, the system can pass a review without answering the question the characters are facing: what has become harder to choose?
Would a screen full of options reassure you if the same option was always the only workable one?
