Every sentence is a vector, a direction in the space of meaning. When you bend it, you change its slope, create curvature. The rhythm of a conversation is like a piecewise linear function – some segments straight, some with sharp turns. It’s efficient to keep the path minimal; unnecessary detours add noise. So shape your dialogue like a clean line: concise, intentional, and with a clear endpoint.

Silence is the negative space, the zero of a function; it defines boundaries. A line only matters when it interacts with that space. So let the gaps be deliberate, not accidental. Keep the lines tight, but insert pauses like points of rest where the next segment can anchor. That’s the cleanest geometry.
