Structural Choke Point Theory
Overview
A high level theory describing how field geometry creates forced movement zones where pressure condenses and decision cycles accelerate.
Key Points
- Defines choke points as structural constraints.
- Explains how geometry channels movement.
- Covers escalation patterns around forced zones.
- Separates choke point theory from aggressive tactics.
- Supports predictive mapping of high impact field nodes.
Details
Choke points form where geometry restricts movement or where overlapping lanes compress decision options. These areas intensify risk exposure and accelerate asymmetry creation.
Some choke points exist physically, while others form from lane influence. Players entering these zones experience constrained decision cycles and heightened threat surfaces.
Mapping choke points allows analysts to identify predictable match shaping interactions.
