that is quite wild...

it implies expressivity is the ability to constrain

it implies drawing on a page, or more broadly, every choice we make, is in equal parts a creative and destructive act

so maybe life, or human flourishing is choosing the restrictions that increase freedom of choice? it's so meta it's almost oxymoronic; concretely: we imprison people to maximize freedom; or, we punish children with the aim of setting them free from punishment

this is the same as the walk from law into grace found in Christian ethics

maybe the ultimate programming language then, provides the maximal step down that path, and this is also the most useful definition of "power"

i.e. place on people those restrictions that increase their ability to choose
