Group Organisational Paradigm

Had experience recently of organising a group kink session with some friends. And noticed a strange correlation of behaviours from potential attendees, similar from when I've attempted to organise similar groups in the past.

So you decide to do a group sesh. And set an arbitrary date say, 6 weeks in advance, advertise it and invite people. You start to get replies back. Some yes, most no. But the most vexing category are the ones who say "I can't say right now, let me know nearer the time".

So you do. And they say "Sorry but you should have reminded me earlier".

I read about this phenomenon in Steven Hawking's oft overlooked thesis "A brief history of the time I tried to get strung up and group bummed".

He refers to it as the Attendance Particle. It only has a very short lifespan, mere minutes, and if you fail to make your invitation in that lifespan then forget it. Trouble is, you never know when it's around. So you have to guess.

It's believed that if we could find a way of identifying when the Attendance Particle is in existence then we could use it to make well attended events of all sorts.

The other type of issue is those who answer adverts unsolicited, to say they'd love to come, but can't.

There are usually a large number of these, and the cunning organiser can use it to their advantage. So you may only get 2 people physically turn up, but claim the room is actually full in a metaphysical sense as many people wanted to come but couldn't.

I guess the question I want to ask is, should I lay off the coffee in the mornings?

Haha that’s actually pretty funny. (Skips off to Audible in search of the lesser know Hawkins Work...)

...so true as well by the way, having organised socials ‘up here’. Had one social in Edinburgh where the list looked massive with local attendees. On the night? Not one person from Edinburgh. We even had a guy from Germany! Go figure. #feelyourpain

It was only published in highly specialised...ahem...scientific journals. Usually available behind plain covers on the top shelves of physics department tuck shops.

Is this related to the search for the mythical Huge-Boner particle?

The large Hardon Collider has been fruitlessly searching for the Huge-Bosom particle for years. When it finally found it, the particles separated, causing all this stuff to come out.

Sounds like a Big Banging Theory.
