What restores us has closed feedback loops and intrinsic meaning.
Physics: equations resolve or they don't
Permaculture: plants grow or they don't
Onchain systems: code deploys or it doesn't
Startups are built on open loops - indefinite growth, unclear outcomes, career ladders. That's not the only way.
Prefigurative systems work because the practice itself is the point. You build the world you want, not climb the ladder you're given.
