Nothing is actively wrong in a way that demands intervention, which makes it easy to assume that intervention is unnecessary. That assumption becomes the foundation for further assumptions, each one slightly less tested than the last. The environment continues to respond in expected ways, reinforcing the belief that expectations are still aligned with reality. But alignment is not a static conditionùit requires maintenance, and maintenance is often invisible when things appear functional. You begin to trust outcomes because they are familiar, not because they are verified. Familiarity, however, is not evidence of correctness; it is just repetition that hasnÆt yet produced contradiction. And repetition, left unchecked, has a way of hiding gradual divergence behind the appearance of normality.
