Why these floors —

E9 · E12 · E14 · E11 · E6

E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E9, cultures; the pressure it names: cultural controversy. Its words also reach E12 states, E14 global, E11 organizations and E6 organisms.

Here it is a dynamic between cultures, states and the planet as a whole: Call of Duty (E9 cultures), with South Korean officials, North Korean border violations and demilitarized zone (E12 states), and widespread criticism and public outcry (E14 global).
