A RelatePoint is a primary starting point or place for coordinating relationships in the proximity. RelatePoints provide options for communication, a key to productive and enjoyable relationships. The symbol (r] stands for a RelatePoint. When you see the word RelatePoint or the (r] symbol, you know that information for relating to someone or something can be found. It can be information about relating to an individual, group, organization, entity or other proximity. It can be relating in various ways, such as communicating, cooperating, collaborating, joining, rewarding, etc. In addition to relationships, the symbol (r] also evokes Vadi Agreements and the Growth Model.

Adaptability and Examples
On a website, a RelatePoint can be a page or set of pages. However, the concept can adapt to a variety of situations. A RelatePoint can be any place or way of coordinating relationships. At a convention, seminar or meeting, it might be a table and a sign. A phone is a RelatePoint. For groups who meet on a regular basis, their meeting place is a RelatePoint. An internet chat interface is a RelatePoint. A retail store is a RelatePoint.

Combining RelatePoints and ProxMonitors
Sometimes, RelatePoints and ProxMonitors are combined. For example, with people, our bodies are often both. We coordinate our relationships through speech, expressions and body language (RelatePoints), while at the same time monitoring feedback, status, and progress through our sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose).

Versatility
The information at a RelatePoint can help people gain greater ProxAwareness, and help them better relate elements, relationships, and the proximity. The symbol (r] is very compact, so it can appear many different places. For example, it can be a link on a website, a mark on a creative work, or an iconic graphic on a sign. It can be created by anyone with a keyboard. It is also easily created with a pen, pencil, brush, etc.

Possible New Standard
This could become a new standard. We have a need for an icon like this. We have a need for ways to refer to and trigger relationships that are flexible, renewable, sustainable, pluralistic and multifaceted.

Adopt Them and Reward
We invite you to adopt the related standards in the Growth Model, of which RelatePoints are a part. [[[(Warning – Links go to main site until next triple bracket.) If you do, we ask you to ProxReward us as a part of our IP Deal, for pioneering the standards. For more, see Adopt (r].]]] Thank you.
