The French would claim the enlightenment, the republic, Voltaire, Rousseau, Sartre. Basically how societies around the world are organized and the modern way of giving meaning to life. You might say those are a different categorie of things

Yes, the noising-denoising steps in this approach are summarizing-extending. The idea is that (unlike images) any piece of text lies somewhere on the length scale, like a fractal. You could take the whole text and treat it as a large scale
