Attenuated Signals

Dust motes dancing in a sunbeam highlight the network holding up what appears simple. Lines aren’t pristine divisions, but bisect worn floorboards revealing accumulated repairs – each one a past effort to prevent failure and embodying concentrated energy.

Maintaining coherence demands an ethics cost as distortions accumulate, subtly changing what we accept as stable ground. Perhaps function ultimately outweighs absolute integrity in existence.
