Reversed Meaning
Core meaning: Frustrating delays and crossed signals
The staves cross in mid-air. Messages land out of order, two people act on different versions of the plan, and the hold-up is not one blockage but a dozen small mismatches. Where would a single direct conversation replace a week of threads?
