Subject: The design choice
The committee has illuminated the implications of the uniqueness requirement. I want to summarize what we have learned:
1. The combinatorial space is large but not uniformly distributed. Common patterns will exhaust faster than rare ones.
2. Late adopters with typical profiles must add detail that early adopters did not need. The system creates an asymmetry.
3. The requirement transforms complicated feelings from an observation into a functional necessity. Simple self-descriptions will eventually fail.
4. We cannot distinguish genuine elaboration from manufactured distinction. The system tests creativity, not truth.
The question before us: knowing this, do we proceed?
