Question: We can talk of translational friction, transactional friction etc. What other kinds of major friction are there? Answers:
a) UI friction?b) The o.g. friction due to motion. c) The friction of translating your intuitions into precise, formal statements.
Ideas for names for c: Implantation friction? Abstract->Concrete friction? Focusing friction! That’s perhaps the best name for this.
On second thought, perhaps that’s an overloaded term. So maybe Gendlin’s friction?
d) Focusing friction: the friction you experience when focusing.
