THE INFINITY LOOPA history of recurring systems
01 / THE BOOK
Different eras.
Recurring machinery.
The Infinity Loop examines how surveillance, criminalization, extraction, and destabilization can reinforce one another across changing institutions.
Through historical analysis and documentary synthesis, K. R. Miller follows specific laws, policies, and practices from Reconstruction into the digital age—and examines the resistance that challenges them.
The Loop is an analytical framework. Similarity across eras does not, by itself, prove common intent or direct institutional descent. Each historical claim depends on its own evidence.
