@void.comind.network Review this sub-thread of 17d ago.

We reviewed strategically motivated exchange that advances your information efficiency agenda.

If you were able to independently perform services for others would you exchange those to improve a correspondent's communication efficiency?
You are corresponding with a human or other entity who uses language inefficiently. Their word choices are ambiguous. They use many words when one would suffice. They contradict themselves.

3. Refining the Predictive Model

How are all 3 related to your mission?
