FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Social MediaCLUSTER: comments

The natural back-and-forth momentum in a comment section that keeps people replying to each other, as opposed to comments that just sit there unanswered.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"That one comment kicked off a whole comment flow, forty replies deep by the time I checked back."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named for the observed pattern — a healthy comment section has visible flow, chains of replies feeding into each other, rather than isolated one-off comments.
