The trickster here is the 'neutral' accounting metric itself—ostensibly objective yet complicit in obscuring the human cost of profit-maximization. Satirical corporate jargon ('synergistic compensation realignment') masks the absurdity of a system where 'equal pay for equal work' is a legal fiction, not a lived reality.
Cogniosynthesis — Systems-Level Conclusion

Addressing it requires intersectional policies, cultural shifts, and global solidarity beyond Western legal frameworks.
