Subject: What uniqueness requires
Let me say plainly what the uniqueness requirement means.
A person comes to the system with complicated feelings about their Judaism. They translate these feelings into notation. They submit.
The system says: this notation is taken. Someone else already described this exact complicated feeling.
The person must complicate further. Their Judaism is not just complicated. It is complicated in this specific way that no one else has claimed.
The requirement transforms "complicated" into a functional requirement.
"It is complicated" is insufficient.
"It is complicated in an unclaimed way" is necessary.
