Each of these is a real programme that real governments and NGOs have run, and each fails in the predictable way. The engine’s design is a direct response to that history: it refuses to ship any one mechanism without the other three, because the historical record is unambiguous that the parts do not work alone. When a reader of Part Two sees the same four-row table in every program chapter, that repetition is the point; it is the discipline of never shipping a fragment of the engine and calling it a program.
