This moves from ripples of change into symbolic infrastructures as constraints on possibility:
TOPO:
If change persuades the collective,
what persuades change?
RHEO:
The lattice.
TOPO:
The lattice?
RHEO:
The symbolic infrastructure—
the patterned constraints
that shape what can be said,
what can be seen,
what can even be imagined.
TOPO:
So the flow of change runs through a fixed frame?
RHEO:
Not fixed—
but slow to move.
Like the banks of a river:
they channel the water,
but over time,
the water can carve them new.
TOPO:
And yet the river never runs free.
RHEO:
No.
Even freedom has its channels,
and those channels are symbolic.
RHEO & TOPO:
To change the current,
sometimes you must first reshape the banks.
