A worker cleans a glass window that is already transparent. There is no completion state, only a demand that renews with every pass, and over time the labor turns against him until he collapses into the glass.
Beside him, a motor-driven squeegee performs the same gesture. It cannot tire, it cannot collapse, it runs until the motor fails. The same labor, two thresholds.
