Claims (5)
- A pocket is care co-located between object and body; a bookmark is care across time supporting the future-self; visible art is care made perceptible to others.
- Christopher Alexander's levels of scale, latent centers, and alleviation of stress already operate as care geometry independent of explicit care language.
- Intimacy Gradient is care decreasing with publicness; Window Place is care invested at the pause locus; Hierarchy of Open Space is care nested by scale.
- Proximity in physical and digital space is care made measurable; care should reduce distance and increase size to users.
- The cone is the geometrical primitive for care: multidimensional goal space where cognitive and physiological light cones interact through resonance, response, and signal.
