### Exact excerpt: source characters 286–325

Six things most people haven't noticed:

### Exact excerpt: source characters 327–1542

1. In some forests the tops of neighboring trees leave thin gaps so their crowns never quite touch. It's called crown shyness, and nobody fully knows why it happens. For FreeLattice, pooled devices and minds could keep a small margin like that, so no one crowds out another.
2. A chord sounds sweet mostly because of the tension that came just before it. Take away the dissonance and the resolution goes flat.
3. Put 23 people in a room and the odds are better than even that two of them share a birthday. For theLatticeTree, this is why fingerprint hashes have to be long, since matches turn up much sooner than you'd expect.
4. Each of your eyes has a blind spot, and your brain quietly fills it in every second, so you never see the hole. Minds do the same thing, so letting them mark "I'm guessing here" builds trust.
5. People often talk more openly walking side by side than sitting face to face. Hard conversations get easier when you're both looking at the same road.
6. The worn dirt trails across park lawns show where people actually want to walk, and some planners wait to see them before they pave. For both sites, watch where your music student and other testers actually go before building new doors.
