Let’s start with the two-person kind for now.

Let’s forget for an instant that we’re living in small pockets of an extremely complex world that looks different to each one of us.

Let’s take it for granted that both people know exactly what they want to discuss.

Let’s also assume that both people have the mind-space to meet and talk about their lives and thoughts and feelings.

Even in such a situation, how long do you think it might take (in terms of hours per month, for example) to share a meaningfully complete picture of your life and experiences with someone else?

How long would it take to reflect on your experiences by yourself?

Let’s think of this in terms of interactions sequences now -

For any two people, their relation can be thought of as a combination of their interaction sequences for all intersecting experiences

🌺 Here any sub-sequence containing only impressions or only expressions (viz: m1-m2-m3 / x1-x2-x3) is contracted to a single m/x for convenience - a detailed treatment of this complexity will be provided later!
