As always, I'm inspired by Sahil's vision here! I've sat with his "high actuation spaces" and "live theory" for a while, and there's something really appealing about it. I'm eager to get a better sense of it, by which I mean I'm eager to hear the vibes get cashed out more concretely. But maybe that's against the spirit of the project? For example: what exactly is "sensitivity"? Or am I being insensitive just to ask?
