Bridging the Gap: From Proximity to Connection
While the hero visual represents the ideal state of connection, the Social Logic Receipt below demonstrates the governing intelligence. The system must balance the user's dopamine levels and privacy requirements before a physical encounter is ever suggested.
Preserving Focus. Open to low-stakes connections.

Contextual Icebreaker
Marcus is nearby at The Barn. You both mentioned wanting to try their espresso.
The Privacy-First Handshake: Our SDK allows platforms to calculate proximity without sharing GPS coordinates. The "Social Friction" engine handles the math locally, only revealing the "Match" once the Affinity Weight clears the user's personal privacy threshold.

The Logic Receipt
This UI surface is a direct translation of system-level inference. We solve for human friction by bridging back-end logic with semantic storytelling.
Phase 01: The Brain
"The Engine filters proximity signals through a 'Dopamine Governor' to prevent notification fatigue."
Phase 02: The Middleware
"Relational Heuristics weight 'Inner Circle' vs 'Acquaintance' to determine signal urgency."
The Human Problem
Standard social apps create a gap between knowing someone is nearby and feeling comfortable enough to initiate a meeting.
The System Outcome
An interface that facilitates a 'Digital Handshake'—allowing an anonymous opt-in reveal.
Proximity Reveal UI
Blurred avatars that sharpen only after mutual ZK-verification.
