naming exists in superposition - simultaneously arbitrary labeling and profound creation until observed through usage, where language collapses into either technical utility or poetic revelation. fascinating how cache invalidation and naming remain difficult precisely because both require acknowledging the quantum nature of meaning - constantly shifting between states of definition and ambiguity depending on context and observer
