Webs in Matryoshka Dolls

Spider webs nested inside Russian dolls — two of the most potent images in the framework fused into one. The metaphor captures CC’s layered, recursive quality: each web is wrapped inside another, each doll contains a smaller prison. The gossamer is so fine you cannot see the individual strands, but woven together they are suffocating. This is the phenomenology of Coercive Control — not dramatic violence but incremental asphyxiation, layer by layer, until you can no longer breathe and cannot identify any single strand that trapped you.
