A little conceptual physics never hurt anyone... right away.

Recently, a friend of mine stated that she enjoyed the way I and my plutanic life mate occupy the same mental space.

I feel this statement reqires a couple of definitions.

Plutanic Life Mate: (a phrase of my own creation) A non-familial friend with whom you will spend most of your life in close proximity but for whom you feel zero physical attraction toward. You may find yourself reffering to this person as your sibling of cousin in conversations to simplify explinations of your relationship.

Same Mental Space: (a phrase created by my friend who made the above statement) An identical working between two or more minds. This similarity occupys a “space” of inexplicable comprehension. Similar to this are overlapping mental spaces and neighboring mental spaces.

I had never put our relationship put this way but in all truth it is the best summation of our interactions and responses to each other. He truly is my “brother from another mother”. Ever since this phrase has entered my frame of reference I’ve been applying it whenever I can, seeing moods and conversations as venerable ven diagrams of mental spaces shifting their coordinates on a plane. That sounds a bit like Flatland, but as abstract as that may seem it actually takes away the two most troublesome dimensions of spacetime.
