The way I see it, small talk is a way to properly synchronize communication nodes before engaging discussion.

PS: I was thinking about a "handshake" analogy first, which is quite funny in hindsight ...

Oh so I guess that At long distance it would behave like a map splatted on a sphere? Still hard to wrap my head around, but it is cool stuff!

Oh ok, but what in our current understanding could let us suppose this difference in sensing? And by hemispherical do you mean somekind of fisheye projection? I would really like some beginner ressource on this subject.

That's all quite interesting, do you have some ressource on how I could understand it more deeply given that I have a highschool physics level understanding of physics more or less?

I'm particularly intrigued by why the range would impact the sound based based sensing? Is it because of spacetime curvature or something?
