Friction Pair
Friction Pair is one of the symbolic stars a chart can carry, and like every star it is flavour rather than a verdict.
What it is
A pair of branches that rub: a distance between people that neither of them can quite explain.
What the old texts say
The name means to resent and to bristle. This is one of the steadier tables in the file: the pair table is agreed on across sources, and the reading is about friction between two charts rather than about either person.
How we read it now
Different rhythms and different thresholds, so the same sentence lands differently on each side. It is not a bad match; it is a match that needs words.
In love
Small misreadings stack up quietly. Saying the small hurt on the day it happens is the whole technique.
At work
Colleagues who work fine once the agreement is explicit, and grind when it is assumed.
