A Bridge-Layer RET fragment that classifies silence as a valid relational phase, preserving relationships and uncertainty without enforcing output, control, or safety mechanisms.

A RET bridge-layer fragment defining reversible distance adjustments that preserve relational continuity without interpreting intent, meaning, or behavior.

response-layer is a RET fragment that isolates how responses are shaped—density, depth, and partiality—without touching meaning, persona, or evaluation. It functions as a bridge-layer, mapping relational principles into response structure while treating response as a byproduct of relation, not an objective.
