Indirect Speech: what this star will be

Indirect Speech is a star on the Constellate sky: placed by meaning, named, and connected to the stars around it. This is the short form of its post: the line it carries, the area we colour Language, and what stands beside it today.

The line it carries on the sky: We veil requests so both sides can pretend they were never made.

What stands beside it

The stars nearest to it are The Cooperative Principle, Face, Reciprocity and The Schelling Point, and Status Games is already open to walk. When Indirect Speech opens, the conversation will land it among them, with a line drawn to each idea it touches.

Ask for this star

Every star is lit by demand. Ask for Indirect Speech and it moves up the list; when it opens, this post becomes the full essay. The open stars beside it can be walked today, and the first concept of every course is free.
