// Signal intensity
// This week

Three physically independent oil corridors — Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, and Kazakhstan's CPC Black Sea terminal — are degraded at the same time for the first time this system has tracked, and Brent crossed $100/barrel for the first time in two months as prices finally moved with, rather than behind, the escalation.

// What is this

This site tracks the signals that determine whether the world runs smoothly — energy supply chains, maritime shipping, geopolitics, food systems, health, and climate. The underlying thesis: the post-WWII Western liberal order is in structural decline, and China has already replaced it as the world’s industrial center of gravity. Not as a prediction. As a description of the present. Updated weekly from primary sources.
