# Case study: social paths How shared practices continue A language, an organisation or a legal order continues through repeated actions and communication. These <strong>social paths</strong> are not single objects, but they still need people, bodies, places, documents and technical systems. ### Language When people speak, they use a shared language and may change it a little. This shows **connectivity** and **persistence**: language enables understanding and continues through use and teaching. Records preserve traces, but a living language also needs a community that can use it. ### Wikipedia A Wikipedia article grows through contributions, corrections and rules for disagreement. It illustrates **emergence**: a shared pattern can arise from many actions without one person producing it alone. The ethical questions concern access, correction, power and the conditions that keep those capacities working.
