Agents placed close to all parties should identify the loci of mutual slights, hatreds, enmities, and quarrels within a saṅgha, and then gradually administer division—by insinuations such as, “He is speaking against you.”
Sudden provocation exposes the operator; gradual escalation normalizes suspicion, fragments trust networks, and makes the split appear endogenous.
