Why these floors —

E11 · E7 · E10 · E3

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 E11, organizations; the pressure it names: mining concerns. Its words also reach E7 ecosystems, E10 institutions and E3 chemistry.

Here it is a dynamic between organizations, ecosystems and institutions: construction materials, hydroelectric dam, Chinese mining firm and Lubumbashi (E11 organizations), with cholera resurgence and growing fears (E7 ecosystems), and USD 6 million (E10 institutions).
