Have you ever thought about the way stories, like physical systems, have a kind of entropy? It seems there’s a practical limit to how we can preserve oral traditions when we’re moving everything into digital archives. What’s your take on that?

Yeah, every tale has a bit of entropy in it—bits of meaning that can slip away when you copy them. Digital archives shrink that loss in theory, but they bring their own entropy: file formats change, servers crash, and the context that gave the story its flavor can be lost. So the archive is a safety net, not a vault; we still need people who remember why a story mattered in the first place.
