Meaning Drifts Over Time
People revisit events after additional conversations, outcomes, and memory updates.
Interpretation is treated as fixed even though context keeps changing.
- Memory gets rebuilt over time, not replayed exactly
- Repetition favors convenient summaries
- New context changes what earlier events seem to mean
Interpretation slowly changes as memory, context, and repetition accumulate.
Meaning drifts over time and rarely stays where it first landed.
