The everyday social fabric.
Extended kin. Chosen kin. The neighbor who waters your plants. The friend who is more like a sibling than your sibling. This is where the village shows up in ordinary time — the Tuesday-night-dinner version, not the emergency version.
The recurring gathering, fictional and real. Open seat at the table; everyone brings something; conversation rather than performance.
Your Life Board doesn't ask for blood. The 25 slots are for the people who actually show up — including the ones you chose, not just the ones you inherited.
Geo-anchored circles for the block, the building, the cul-de-sac. Quiet by default — useful when the dog's loose or the package is on the wrong porch.
The little gifts that keep the village warm. Drop off, ask for, pass along. No accounting. No reciprocity tracking. Generosity ecology, in practice.
The friends you've had for thirty years — and the rituals that kept them. Daisy notices when one's gone quiet. Pings you, gently. Doesn't make you feel guilty.
Standing weekly thing. Game night. Coffee Saturday. Mass on Sunday with the in-laws. The structures that make showing up easy.
Most members live in Family & Friends World first. It's where the everyday rhythms happen — the calendar most people open most often, the circle most people post in most. Other Worlds (FAM, VA, Elder, Parents...) layer on for the more specific roles you play.
FAM is your 25 closest — the load-bearing kin. Family & Friends is the wider weave — the dozens of relationships that keep daily life rich without each being existential. Both matter; the platform holds both, separately.
