*Asymptotic Ossification
Asymptotic ossification doesn’t mean freezing Bitcoin in amber. We cannot reach 0% change. Existential uncertainty forbids it. Unknown cryptographic failures. Unknown physics. Unknown adversaries. A system meant to last must admit that some changes may one day be necessary to survive.
The question isn’t whether change is possible. It’s what kind of change remains legitimate. Asymptotic ossification follows Zeno, not a roadmap. Halfway to the door. Then halfway again. Forever. Each step reduces the surface area for interpretation. None claim finality. Change approaches zero without ever reaching it.*
This is a very interesting take: Bitcoin as digital Latin
