({\emph{Collaboration}} was intentionally {\bf{deferred}} because it semantically suggests two sentient beings working together, which risks anthropomorphizing AI in ways that are conceptually misleading. {\bf{{\emph{Refraction}}}} is more appropriate because, like light passing through a medium and changing direction or separating into visible components, it captures how human intent is perceived, transformed, decomposed, and delegated across different layers of artifacts, constraints, and AI-mediated processes.)% Row Count 22 (+ 10)
