Intent, reciprocity, and small groups

Mixed-intent feeds force constant negotiation: is this person looking for what I am looking for? Small cohorts grouped by intent shrink that ambiguity so sparks and threads happen inside a shared frame.

Reciprocity is easier to sense when the steps are mutual: paired reveals, recap, contract. You are not guessing whether silence means disinterest or distraction - the structure asks both sides to show up on record before chat sprawls.
