That's fine.  But it doesn't directly address the point.  Is experience-being-with-other-people really an "attractor" in the sense we usually use that term?  I don't think so.  I think the normal (complexity fanboi) sense of "attractor" is at least somewhat reductionist/thin/flat and not commensurate with phrases like "experience being with other people".

If we simply decided these things are not attractors, then I think my problem dissolves.

As far as I can tell, they just like performing with other people.   It is about experience and participation.  It is an excuse to get together.   It is about being around people they recognize as similar to them.   (I feel like Commander Data observing the behavior of humans here..)
