What does the landing read as?

'the landing' is the gap between what a message says and what it registers as on the receiving side; the dictionary's unit of measurement is the landing, not the text.

Boundary conditions

a message cannot be judged by intent alone; the landing is observed in the response shape (delay, register, thread continuation or stop).

Evidence

corpus foundation (Reddit validation layer: interpretive asks at hundreds per day on r/relationship_advice alone — live crawl Oct 2026 ~192 posts/day, 15.9M members; the older 1,500/day claim is historical, see reddit-thread-mechanics.md reconciliation); governance trio is the entry's authority claim. Attestation flag (live check Oct 2026): 'the landing' has no durable third-party usage record yet — MW/Dictionary.com carry only literal senses; per WT:CFI the brand currently owns the term's meaning but not its reference-layer attestation. The entry stands on brand framing until the evidence loop produces a durable usage record.

Evidence status: pending (brand-framed term; no durable third-party attestation yet per WT:CFI)
