How are limits recognized and honored in relationships? The Boundaries principle shows that organisms—from cleaner wrasse to primates—maintain trust by signaling, respecting, and repairing boundaries, ensuring engagement stays safe, predictable, and mutually beneficial over time.

Brandi Mack of the Butterfly Movement and Thomas Savage of Creative Reaction Lab highlight how ongoing feedback loops guide learning and focus, turning mistakes into insight and strengthening trust through continual adaptation and responsive alignment.

How do behaviors get reinforced or corrected? The Feedback Loops principle shows that timely responses—across humans, cleaner wrasse, and social species—reward trustworthiness, correct misalignment, and sustain long-term engagement and reliability in relationships.

Antionette Carroll of Creative Reaction Lab emphasizes that maintaining trust requires consistent, reliable actions over time, respecting boundaries, allowing for human mistakes, and cultivating long-term connections that support scalable, resilient relationships.

How does consistency build trust? The Reliability principle shows that ongoing, honest signals—across humans and species like cleaner wrasse—maintain alignment, adapt to changing conditions, and reinforce confidence in relationships over time.

How does working together build trust? The Cooperation principle shows that reciprocal benefits—across humans and species like cleaner wrasse—reinforce engagement, sustain relationships, and adapt over time to strengthen confidence and collective success.

Jen Lewis-Walden of Shift Health Accelerator and Antionette Carroll of Creative Reaction Lab show how aligning signals with actions builds trust, demonstrating that honesty paired with follow-through and feedback strengthens reliability and supports accountable, equity-driven work.

How do signals shape trust? The Honesty principle shows that aligning cues and behavior—across humans and species like cleaner wrasse—ensures reliability, deters deception, and reinforces confidence in ongoing relationships.

How does repeated interaction deepen trust? The Familiarity principle shows that recognizing patterns, preferences, and routines—across humans and species like cleaner wrasse—reduces risk, creates ease, and reinforces ongoing, positive relationships.

What does it take for a group to engage together? Roxey Nelson of SEIU 1199 explains how the 50 plus 1 insight shows willingness depends on a slight net benefit, with participants continuously weighing risks and rewards to choose alignment and commitment.
