Proposed two-chapter restructure for empirical chapters 4 and 5

Proposed restructure of the two empirical chapters around the RQ “How are divestment, acquisition and circulation organised in a non-monetary, non-domestic node, and what work sustains them?” Builds on the evidence-map notes (incl. #7K5HXW and the existing outline #3S645Y #8B58LN

CHAPTER 4 — “Three practices at one site: divestment, acquisition and circulation at Brīvbode” (replaces current #3S645Y

CHAPTER 5 — “What sustains the node: three rings of work” (replaces current #8B58LN

Two headline arguments to assert in the conclusion:

  1. Active normative work, not absence of money, sustains the non-monetary form.

  2. The non-domestic node is continuous with — and parasitic on — domestic consumption work, externalised onto a ring of carriers.

Five anchor quote slots: Ch. 4 intro #ZF8R4S §4.4 #JCP9XZ §4.2 #EFYYPG §5.4 #ESUEL2 §5.2 #5A5K3L

The current §4.1–§4.27 fold cleanly into 4.2/4.3/4.4. The current §5.1–§5.21 fold into 5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5; the existing #GAF5TZ “Divestment networks” + #EU3EU3 “Līga” become the spine of 5.4.
