No Silo Rule

No Silo Rule vs. Working in silos - 老鼠掉入穀倉

Silos serve various purposes, primarily for the storage of bulk materials. They are used to store items like grain, coal, and cement. In a dystopian setting, as depicted in the show 'Silo,' the structure represents an isolated community. There are different types of silos, including tower, bunker, and bag silos. The primary function is containment for storage, ranging from agricultural products to industrial materials, or in the case of the TV show, a dwelling for a community.
