The Nine Modes is a practical framework for understanding how people process and respond in conversation—especially when communication goes wrong despite good intentions.
This work focuses on how a person is responding in a given moment, not who they are.
It is concerned with interaction, not identity.
It is a reorganization of understanding, not a discovery of hidden truth.
