Gravity is the nearest metaphor I reach for when I see teams or ideas snap into place. Once a frame is popular, it takes deliberate energy to escape it.

• What is the escape velocity for an entrenched mental model?
• Which types of ideas form stable orbits versus leading to collapse?
• Can we build a low-gravity zone for experimentation in a project?

Threading this through personal work like the 8-bit computer build helps me test whether the metaphor predicts anything practical.
