The canonical cross-domain reference site the book invites readers to recall — where they have already seen the relational frame intact. The book’s invitation depends on this: every reader has seen relational somewhere; the operator’s task is to transpose what they already know is possible into the operator role.
Explanation #
The move here is rhetorical and structural at once. Instead of asking the operator to imagine a relational standard from scratch, the book points them at something they already carry — the family table, a place most people have felt belonging, being known, and being cared for without having to ask.
That felt reference point becomes the transposition target for [Reimagining Hospitality]: not a foreign standard to import, but a familiar one to rebuild inside a different context, with a different cast and different Guests, aimed at the same destination.
