I’ve realized that my brain, as an Extreme Systemizer, prefers 'Closed Systems' like Once Upon a Time or The 10th Kingdom over 'Open Systems' like Sherlock or real-world politics.
To me, Fairy Tales feel like well-written software with 'hardcoded' rules and clear archetypes (IDs). In contrast, Sherlock or real-life social dramas feel like 'Lossy' data—full of noise, social variables, and unpredictable entropy that causes my system to hit a Buffer Overflow.
Does anyone else use Fantasy/Fairy Tales as a 'Processing Map' for reality because the real world is too 'Lossy' and lacks clear logical integrity? I’m looking for a 'System Match' with people who find safety in the fixed rules of fantasy.
