Effective communication isn’t just about words—it’s about rhythm. This post introduces a conceptual data model, built using Richard Barker’s notation, that visualizes how synchronizing speaking speed with another person fosters a sense of companionship. It highlights the subtle yet powerful role of pacing in interpersonal connection.
Modeling Based on 西剛志『結局、どうしたら伝わるのか？』
| Entity Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Person | The participants in a conversation, including both self and the other person. |
| Self | A sub-type of Person; the speaker initiating or adjusting communication. |
| Other Person | A sub-type of Person; the conversational partner whose pace influences the interaction. |
| Speak | The act of verbal communication between two people. |
| Speak at the Same Speed | A sub-type of Speak; adjusting one’s speaking pace to match the other person’s rhythm. |
| Feel Like a Companion | The emotional outcome of synchronized speech—feeling understood and connected. |
This model reminds us that connection is often built in the unspoken—through rhythm, pace, and presence. Matching the speed of speech isn’t mimicry; it’s empathy in motion. When we speak in sync, we invite others to feel seen, heard, and understood.
