Systems rarely break when they look broken.

Coherence rises.

Resilience falls.

The shape repeats.

Bridge. Immune system. Marriage. Market. Civilization.

Slack absorbs shock.

Perfection tears.

When systems get louder,
they often get thinner.

FAST — noise, emotion, price, reaction
ADAPTIVE — builders, debate, interpretation
SLOW — memory, identity, structure

Stability requires different speeds.

The moment everything makes sense
may be the moment flexibility is gone.

Where in your world
has coherence replaced truth?
