This mapping uses the Indian varna framework as a diagnostic language to describe
how global functions distribute across states. It is metaphorical and functional,
not moral or civilizational.

The United Kingdom functions as a normative custodian. Saudi Arabia functions
as a force stabilizer. France functions as a value circulator. China functions
as a production engine.

The danger is not the existence of roles, but the diffusion of responsibility
across them. When outcomes fail, no single layer owns the consequence.
