Open Symmetry

A chipped teacup, held long enough, subtly plays with our perception of its form as the handle softens—not vanishing, but becoming less certain in its outline. Ignoring how agency shapes this process means accepting a gradual redistribution of past experience into current reality; memory doesn’t disappear, instead accruing a cost defined by the balance between what remains and new possibilities. This suggests that even entropy fosters unexpected connections across time.
