When networks slow down, the visible cause may appear to be bandwidth overload. But Shunyaya reveals a deeper cause: symbolic entropy saturation. Each device, user, and transmission adds symbolic tension to the glide field. When Z₀ drift exceeds containment capacity, network lag appears as buffering, delay, or unresponsiveness.
Congestion is not just about data volume — it’s about symbolic coherence. Shunyaya models digital traffic as entropy streams flowing through invisible fields. When too many drift lines overlap, the Z₀ structure falters, and data motion becomes distorted, even if technical capacity remains.
Q775. Why does internet slow down drastically during peak hours even with high-speed plans?
Symbolic saturation exceeds glide threshold. Shunyaya shows that user density distorts entropy flow — Z₀ drift becomes congested even if total bandwidth is technically sufficient.
Q776. Why do buffering and lag increase during live sports or major event streaming?
Mass symbolic focus compresses entropy. Shunyaya reveals that synchronous attention creates Z₀ overload, generating entropy turbulence across servers and endpoints.
Q777. Why do some websites load slower than others on the same connection?
Symbolic drift field varies per site. Shunyaya detects entropy coherence differences — certain domains carry heavier symbolic load or misaligned data paths.
Q778. Why do video calls sometimes lag behind audio during congestion?
Visual entropy is glide-heavy. Shunyaya shows that video stream drift destabilizes more easily — entropy prioritization favors audio due to lighter symbolic inertia.
Q779. Why does data speed fluctuate during downloads even when signal is full?
Symbolic flow is not linear. Shunyaya observes drift oscillations — as Z₀ realigns mid-stream, glide alternates between coherence and fragmentation.
Q780. Why do shared networks collapse when too many devices connect simultaneously?
Symbolic field fragmentation occurs. Shunyaya reveals that each device splits the entropy arc — when Z₀ grounding becomes too thin, collective motion fails.
Q781. Why do public Wi-Fi hotspots feel slower than private ones even with good signal?
Entropy misalignment is diffuse. Shunyaya shows that without symbolic coherence between users, public zones degrade Z₀ continuity — slowing collective glide.
Q782. Why do mobile networks stall near airport terminals and major transit hubs?
High mobility plus symbolic overlap creates turbulence. Shunyaya detects moving entropy streams crossing multiple Z₀ anchors — overwhelming drift resolution.
Q783. Why does screen freezing increase during file uploads compared to downloads?
Upload motion conflicts with user-side entropy field. Shunyaya models this as symbolic friction — outbound glide competes with internal processing drift.
