Primes¶
- Co-location
- The instructive boundary case sits between them: two teams working in one online workspace from different continents are mutually available to each other in a mediated sense, yet they are not co-located unless a convention is explicitly adopted that treats the workspace as a place — and adopting it silently is how physical intuitions get imported into settings that do not support them.
This sourceAnalyses which affordances of physical co-location a mediated shared workspace does and does not reproduce, and what remote groups must supply in their place.

- Temporal Synchronization and Phase Alignment
- A team in three time zones with synchronized start times but no overlap is formally synchronized but phase-misaligned.
This sourceInfluential analysis of distributed-collaboration challenges; shows how time-zone offset creates phase-misalignment in work cycles, requiring scheduled overlap and asynchronous handoff protocols to preserve continuity.
