About the author.
Sahil Tayal writes independent interdisciplinary essays connecting human behaviour, education, organisational life, culture and creative experimentation. The Reading Room is a public map of questions, arguments and interpretations—not a peer-reviewed research journal.
Readers are invited to follow the sources, question the analogies and form their own conclusions.
