本文记录了以宪法为基础的对公用事业付款进行“交叉补贴”的努力如何产生了一系列从未实现跨阶级团结目标的数字。这种以法律的为基础的制度得以延续，很大程度上是因为这些数字很快就被大众言论和多个机构以不协调的方式采用。标量紧张关系是这个故事的关键：哥伦比亚的“estrato”系统分类住宅物业（最初是为了不同的公用事业支付目的）的核心是一组数字，设计为全国有效的：但是，用六个数字中的一个标记所有住宅，以产生类似分区的“estrato”地图，这一工作激发了定性的微观地方知识。总体而言，我们表明，当地的社会经济差异的知识不断发生冲突，并破坏不仅最初的雄心勃勃的计划，使跨阶级的“团结”的技术，但随后的努力，提出更合理的替代方案。
This article documents how a Constitutionally grounded effort to institute ‘cross subsidies’ for public utility payments gave rise to a set of numbers that never achieved the goal of cross-class solidarity. This legal based system lived on, in large part because the numbers were quickly adopted both in popular speech and by multiple institutions, in an uncoordinated manner. Scalar tensions are key to the story: the Colombian ‘estrato’ system for classifying residential properties (initially for differential utility payment purposes) has at its core a set of numbers that was designed as nationally valid: but the work of labelling all residences with one of the six numbers to produce zoning-like ‘estrato’ maps incites qualitative micro-local knowledge. Overall, we show that local knowledges of socioeconomic difference constantly clash with and undermine not only the initial ambitious plan to render cross-class ‘solidarity’ technical but also the subsequent efforts to propose more rational alternatives.
