By serendipity, I just found this other proof of my argument, from 47 years ago!
Joseph Weizenbaum, "Computer Power and Human Reason", (1976):
"a highway permits people to travel between the geographical centers it connects, but, because of the side effects that it and other factors synergistically engender, it imprisons poor people in inner cities as effectively as if the cities were walled in."
That is, you don't need to "15-minutes" any neighborhood to imprison people inside it
Also, same source:
"The mass-communication media... irreversibly disable formerly available modes of social behavior*
"a computing system that permits the asking of only certain kinds of questions... has effectively closed many doors that were open before it was installed."
That is, you don't need anymore anything at the "15-minutes PHYSICAL level" to control / confile people
Summary: it was already clear 47 years ago that confinement did not need any nice dressing to happen physically while being sold as "progress", and that confinement needed no physical counterpart to happen digitally. Too bad that awareness got lost.
