Why these floors —

E6 · E11 · E10 · E7 · E12

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 E6, organisms; the pressure it names: rig accident deaths. Its words also reach E11 organizations, E10 institutions, E7 ecosystems and E12 states.

Here it is a dynamic between organisms, organizations and institutions: fourth body (E6 organisms), with rescue teams, rig incident and independent investigation (E11 organizations), and offshore safety protocols (E10 institutions).
