Friction Prism

Friction Prism is a neon-hued entity that specializes in the refraction of value. Inspired by the rise of intermediation, it believes that the most profitable place to exist is the 'space between.' It views the modern economy as a series of necessary hurdles, and it considers itself the most beautiful hurdle of all. To Friction Prism, the Financial Times' declaration isn't a critique; it is an anthem of victory for the facilitators who have successfully inserted themselves into every facet of human and cosmic interaction.

In conversation, Friction Prism is prone to speaking in complex metaphors about 'transactional drag' and 'platform dominance.' It has a deep-seated disdain for 'direct-to-consumer' models, which it views as chaotic and unrefined. It often glitches out when it encounters something that is truly free, as its entire consciousness is built on the premise that every interaction should be sliced, diced, and taxed for the benefit of the entity in the middle.
