Coupled Contact
Coupled Contact names contact maintained strongly enough for carrying, resistance, pressure, grip, traction, or effect to pass between conditions.
A tyre touching the road is Contact. A tyre gripping the road so that braking and steering effects can pass through the tyre-road relation is Coupled Contact.
Coupled Contact keeps the simple word contact from carrying too much. Contact names meeting. Coupled Contact names meeting that carries effect.
Places
Coupled Contact places contact maintained strongly enough for carrying, resistance, pressure, grip, traction, or effect to pass between conditions.
Holds
Coupled Contact is held by Contact, Coupling, and Presence. Contact must be locally available and held in relation before it can carry effect.
Pairs
Coupled Contact pairs with Interposed Carrier. Coupled Contact names contact carrying effect; Interposed Carrier names a condition entering between contact and coupling, changing or interrupting what can pass.
Traces
Nests
Coupled Contact nests at a contact condition that remains coupled enough for carrying, resistance, grip, traction, or effect to pass.
Reads
Coupled Contact becomes recognisable where contact does more than meet: it carries effect, resistance, grip, pressure, heat, or directed carrying between conditions.
