Roommate-finding Protocols 🏠`

General

The essence of creating these roommate finding artifacts lies in establishing and iteratively refining weak protocols. They provide a set of guide rails for discussion, prompting users to articulate their preferences (Observe). This process generates a shared language for assessing potential compatibility (Orient). The act of filling out forms or engaging with platforms guides decision-making (Decide). Successes and failures with roommates (Act) feed back into these artifacts. This resembles the OODA loop’s emphasis on adapting based on experience, refining the protocols that shape roommate selection. However, I think the focus here is less on individual agility and more on the evolution of social norms around cohabitation and compatibility.
