The work of peace, then, is phenomenological maintenance. It is the cultivation of shared experience across difference. It is resistance to the forces—technological, political, ideological—that seal boundaries and render outsiders unreal. It is the protection of conditions under which corrective feedback can flow, under which dissonant experience can challenge settled certainty, under which the noetic ground remains genuinely shared.

We do not lose peace because we disagree about truth. We lose it when we stop sharing a world of experience at all.
