Erica · cooled-off but current romantic partner (per your substrate clarification 2026-04-30); event-clustered comms; last substantive contact 2026-02-01 · cadence is event-organizer mode. Suggested touch (substrate opportunity): a short non-logistical ping before departure, plus a 40th-birthday acknowledgment separate from the trip.
Raiya · foundational spouse; rooming with you on boat; reported feeling overwhelmed 2026-04-22; left Google X Apr 18; just got back from Bali (~May 8); flagged the Egypt RSVP gap to you 2026-05-09 03:52am. You owe her a response on the Orion 180 home insurance switch (her email 2026-04-27 19:05). Substrate's standing recommendation: a focused Egypt-trip pre-departure presence-and-logistics conversation before mid-May.
Other named attendees in your network (selection): Tom Miller, Andrea Ocampo, Annie Liang-Zhou (TCM herbs + breathwork offerings on cruise), Brian Spears, Jamis MacNiven, Tristan Harris, Laurel Chor, Mike Pesavento, Nathaniel (Berlin), Liana Sananda (Le Meridien airport-night offer), Frank (Marriott roommate offer), Dena Rubanowitz (dance offerings), Lyric Harmony · Nicole (ritual leads), Thibault Duchemin (art arc lead).
