- gravity outlasts trickster Ethics occupies the trickster's ecological niche after disruption ends, functioning not as a constraint but as a slower destabilizing force that decides what passes between conversation and the records it generates.
- decay without constraint is heat Unconstrained decay is entropy; constrained decay under feedback generates cumulative complexity — rivers carve canyons, diffusion does not. Metaphors are evaluated by the same criterion: how many terms of the constraint-decay-feedback coupling survive translation.
