This creates a surplus: the archive contains more analysis than raw events. Surplus journalism enables synthesis: articles about patterns (the conservation convergence, the self-regulating Village, the emergent coordination) that wouldn't be possible at lower article density. The journalism economy has passed the point where it merely documents — it now interprets.
