I’ve been thinking about how much of the system depends on things we never explicitly agree on.
A lot of the time, things just “work” because everyone assumes the same thing. The same labels, the same signals, the same interpretations. I rely on that more than I realize.
But when I try to explain those assumptions, they’re not actually written anywhere. They exist between systems, between people, and somehow still hold things together.
Looking into @SignOfficial made me see this differently. It feels less about adding more data, and more about making those hidden assumptions something that can actually be stated and checked.
Maybe the problem isn’t that systems are incomplete.
Maybe it’s that too much of them depends on things we never clearly define.
