Subduction
Subduction ("leading below") is a term borrowed from Geology and the
bible (Jonah 2:6) and used in
Enslavement to describe the process by which a slave's freedoms are
stripped away. It is derived from an analogy between the slave's
response to this process and earthquakes.
Strong
reactions to increasing control, ie psychological reactance,
are not unnatural or uncommon - in many ways they are the symptom that
things
that really matter to the slave are being controlled. That does not
excuse disobedience, but it can give clues that they
are suitable for enslavement even when they are letting themself and
their dominant down by acting up.
This whole process of increasing control is analogous to the plates in
the earth's crust sliding past each other. One of the sea bed plates
slides under the continental crust by "subduction". Sometimes this goes
smoothly, and you don't notice it going under. But other times it
sticks
and there's no progress being made. The pressure builds up and up until
there's a violent earthquake. It's all very disruptive and fraught at
the time, but afterwards everyone sees that a big chunk of the plate
has
gone under in one huge movement.
Enslavement is frequently like that: sometimes blockages and then
earthquakes
happen, but the slave is always further on afterwards.See also
