This is the same reason that computers suck.

Every program you ever run will precisely follow the same set of rules, because it is those rules.

There's a missing piece that no one has really managed to implement on computers: backstory. The reason why a program's rules are written is much more important than the rules themselves, yet we haven't found any way to write the reason why.

The most important feature of backstory is that it's dynamic. The meaning of a story can be completely changed by simply replacing its backstory. Whether it's a computer program or a societal organization, a decided system must be ignorant to its backstory. There is no place in a decided system to implement context. It turns out that this is a core feature of computable systems: they are context-free.

I've been working on a way to change this, but it's such an abstract idea, it's been hard to actually find (and choose) where to get started.
