lossy-self-presentation

Parent: motivation

This bites hardest for a networked thinker — someone whose ideas live in a dense graph while every capture-and-delivery channel is stubbornly linear. Three losses compound:

  • Lossy memory — you've done and thought far more than you can recall on the spot.
  • Lossy capture — you think constantly but won't sit down to write it up.
  • Lossy delivery — it comes out stream-of-consciousness, not as a clean linear narrative.

So even an honest attempt to present yourself leaks information. StandMeet stores the graph and does the linearization at query time, for the specific question being asked — instead of forcing one lossy linear projection up front.
