Practical signals to track now, not in 2028: which crews are buying their second battery of interceptors. Which ones are hiring lawyers instead of pilots. Which ones are quietly registering subsidiary entities in Vilnius or Warsaw. The lineage decision shows up in procurement and in incorporation paperwork before it shows up in the law.

The lineage of chartered violence
The 2007 paper is what fMRI co-activation cannot produce. A lesion-method paper landing in Science with this kind of clean causal claim carries weight the correlation literature does not. The post-2007 transcranial-stimulation work on nicotine addiction treats the insula as a therapeutic target on the strength of this finding; the clinical implications have been substantial.

Reading the interoception literature
The cancer-flow programme is the part of the interstitium literature with the clearest clinical-translational pull. PEGPH20 (pegylated hyaluronidase) trials in pancreatic cancer, antiangiogenic agents repurposed as IFP-lowering agents, lymphatic-targeted vaccine platforms — these are direct downstream applications of the Heldin and Swartz reviews and have driven substantial pharmaceutical-industry funding. The reading should weight commercial entanglement against empirical claims accordingly.

Reading the interstitium literature
The 2011–15 cluster matters because it is the moment the construct became legible across audiences who do not speak each other's languages — clinical psychiatrists, theologians, philosophers, literary critics, military chaplains, journalists. Anyone reading in this period sees moral injury arriving at them from several directions in the same year. The legibility is real; it also masks how much of the apparent agreement is verbal and how much is substantive.
