In Before Certainty Arrives, what begins as adaptation can outlive the pressures that first made it necessary. It helps preserve workable coordination under constraint, but can fail when adaptive tools are mistaken for permanent moral truth.

It differs from drift because adaptation is active response; drift is gradual decoupling while machinery still runs.View Concept →Related books1 bookRelated books1 bookBookHow Meaning MovesSignal, Compression, Restraint, and the Pace of UnderstandingBefore people disagree, they interpret.
