    <p>(All distances on this page refer to interentitic distance, not spatial distance.) <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Generally, proxemics refers to the study of the relationship between social beings and physical distance. In Blessfrey, relative distances between interactables and game mechanic ranges are modeled after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxemics">Edward T. Hall's interpersonal distances of man</a>: public, social, personal, and intimate distance. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>It's so unfortunate that social distance is more often associated with the pandemic than proxemics now. I may have to find more positive terms later, but these work well for me. :/ I like the implication of a generalized "personal bubble" instead of the solely combat-oriented "aggro bubble" of other RPGs. <br></p>

    <p>Distances are declared in the mobile entity's mobile.gd. I...don't know what Godot units are supposed to be. I think they are pixels? Let's call them degrees(❥). I estimate 1❥ to equal ~2.5 social inches. <br></p>
