Two charts, one field. When you spend time with someone, your activations
combine: channels neither of you has alone can complete, and energy you have never had
suddenly runs between you. This is the mechanics under attraction, comfort, and friction.
Enter two people; see what you build together.
You each bring one gate and the channel closes between you.
This is the classic attraction current: energy neither of you has alone, and both
of you feel it when you meet.
Companionship · you both have it whole
Channels you each carry complete. Nothing new fires when you meet;
this is the comfort of shared ground, the part of the relationship that feels understood
without effort.
Dominance · one of you carries it
One person has the whole channel; the other has neither gate. The
carrier simply lives it, and the other receives it and learns from it. Clean roles, and
restful when both accept them.
Compromise · the friction lines
One person has the whole channel; the other holds only one of its
gates. The whole-channel side sets the tune and the one-gate side tends to feel their
half overridden. Naming this out loud is usually all it takes to soften it.
