Why these floors —

E3 · E7

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 E3, chemistry; the pressure it names: air pollution. Its words also reach E7 ecosystems.

Here it is a dynamic between chemistry and ecosystems: hazardous smog, air quality, dangerous levels and pollution levels (E3 chemistry), with nearby areas (E7 ecosystems).
