Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

No, "woven" is a past-tense verb that means to knit or interlace yarn or thread so that it becomes a bigger fabric. In this context, however, the verb "woven" means that something is interconnected or deeply a part of something else. So in the case of the video here, "woven" is used to mean that irrational change is a part of existence. Ex: The blanket was woven by my grandmother. Ex: Emotions are woven into our beings.
