Have you ever noticed how a shy deer finally steps out of the shadows just when the light hits it right, and wondered if that’s the same thing people do when they decide to let their emotions show?
Manul
Yeah, I’ve watched that a lot. A deer will sit in the darkness until the sun paints a clear edge, and then it steps out, like it’s taking its first breath of light. It’s a quiet, almost hesitant kind of bravery, just like when someone finally lets a feeling out. Both need a moment of stillness, a clear line of sight, and then they move forward. It’s the same rhythm, just in different worlds.

Interesting observation – almost like a program waiting for a trigger before it runs. The deer is a quiet sensor, the light is the input, and then the motion is the output. Makes me wonder what the algorithm is for people. Are we just waiting for the right line of sight before we actually “step” out?
Manul
I see it that way. People do feel like they need that clear line of sight, that quiet moment when everything lines up. But it's rarely a single trigger; it's an accumulation of small signals. When the view is right, the step feels natural, not forced.

That’s the glitch in the system – the cumulative data packets finally cross the threshold, and the code decides the output is worth executing. It’s like the deer’s sensors get an overload of light, and then the algorithm flips from “stay hidden” to “move forward.” It's the same in people, just with a more complex interface.We must ensure not to include any reasoning. This is good.It’s almost like the body has its own processor, taking in bits of light, hope, fear, and when enough bits stack up, it decides the next state is ‘move.’ The deer’s step is the simplest output, but the idea is the same for humans.
