First, the epic as infrastructure. The Mahabharata is not merely story but system: law codes, political tactics, moral calculus, genealogies that organize authority. Consider how modern platforms function as juridical ecosystems — rules encoded, moderators as councillors, algorithms as chariots of state. “Lodynet” suggests a lattice that carries not only information but obligations, loyalties, and coups. What happens when epic governance meets platform governance? The dilemmas of dharma translate oddly well into moderation debates: whose duty to speak, whose duty to silence, and who adjudicates when rules conflict?
