He began to rewrite the city’s interface based on . Instead of showing the citizens everything that was , he programmed the glass to show only what they needed next .

He introduced . When a citizen looked at a wall, they saw a wall. Only when they touched it did the glass reveal the deeper layers of information.

The maps became so detailed that they began to include the dust motes in the air, the pulse rates of the citizens, and the atomic vibration of the floor tiles. The complexity was so complete that the city ceased to function. People couldn't even find the doors to their own homes because the doors were buried under layers of architectural blueprints and thermal readouts.
