Stub (The Quiet Mathematics, Movement 2).
Throughput chief of the source-assessment / human-transit programme (~2068) — runs the draw schedule, the dwell windows, the budget pressure. Pushes to relax Sofía Hagen's exposure/dose ceiling for throughput; patient rather than combative ("worse than being argued with"). Not a villain — the institutional face of go faster, the human-transit-era cousin of Vance's pressure. - Book 2 chapter 15: argues the dwell ceiling up against Sofía's eighty-line; Maren backs Sofía's number against him.
