Intro
This entry introduces Relational Systems as structural coordination models between individuals, focusing on expectation architecture, attribution dynamics, attention distribution, emotional labour systems, and relationship drift. It reframes relationships as interpersonal coordination systems rather than emotional constructs, showing how structural asymmetries, implicit roles, and unspoken expectations determine stability or breakdown.
Key concepts include: relational coordination, expectation asymmetry, emotional labour distribution, attention drift, conflict as structural signal, and interpersonal system stability.
