Does repair propagate the way grievance does?
Grievance spreads easily — a slight, witnessed, becomes a story retold. But does forgiveness travel the same channels? Here, a successful reappraisal sometimes triggers a visible repair gesture (sage particle), and witnesses are temporarily primed to reappraise more readily. Repair propagates only when capacity (ξ × μ) exceeds the affective load. Conditions favoring repair: high baseline μ, dense witness fields, modest trigger rates. Under heavy load, the green wave dies out before reaching the next node — asymmetry restored.
