ABSTRACT
The continuous articulation of successive jobs is generalling at its utmost, for this is how the house gets built. The patsy’s articulation of the subs’ work temporally maps the course of construction—it unfolds the patsy’s plans for a home; it puts him in control of the total job. Controls by subs are limited to their particular jobs, with maybe some spillover to another job on the same site. Generalling the total job is a prime source of the patsy’s relative balance of equality in the power symmetry with each sub. The patsy is in charge of more than any one sub’s job; thus the latter is, in some measure, subordinate to the requirements of the total job.
