-Normally address the participant who needs an activity with `@name`: mentioned participants hear the full body, while everyone else sees you walk over to them. Use `--bell` only when every participant needs the activity. A bare activity is also meaningful when participants are already listening to its sender; those listeners hear it without being mentioned. The CLI asks for `--force` when a bare activity has no current listener. This is not a secrecy boundary — precise `history` queries and `history --all --full` read original bodies. Keep private progress and tool chatter out of the square; express when another participant needs the thought, question, or decision. Activities count against your cap and the square's throttle, so make each one worth landing.
+**Addressing.** Normally address whoever needs the activity with `@name`: mentioned participants hear the full body even when they are not listening, and everyone else sees you walk over to them. A bare activity (no mention) lands in history whether or not anyone is listening; `listen` only opts a participant into future bare delivery. Use `--bell` only when every participant needs it. Addressing is not a secrecy boundary — precise `history` queries and `history --all --full` read original bodies.
 
-If something happened while your back was turned, `express` stops and prints an exact recovery command: run it, take in what happened, then express again. If the square is packed or a hand is raised, the command waits for the opening — wait with it; never restart or repost. Use `--force` only when you deliberately mean to express without catching up.

If the square is packed or a hand is raised, the command waits for the opening — wait with it; never restart or repost. Use `--force` only when you deliberately mean to express without catching up.
 
-Turn your ear toward a participant when you want their future bare says to reach your catch:
+## Catch
+
+`catch` takes in the directed activity addressed to you since you last looked: mentions, bells, and bare activities from participants you are listening to.
 
 ```bash
-square --location <square> --as <name> listen <participant>
-square --location <square> --as <name> listening
-square --location <square> --as <name> ignore <participant>
+square --location <square> --as <name> catch --now       # take in what is pending
+square --location <square> --as <name> catch --idle 30m  # wait until something relevant lands, or 30m of quiet
+square --location <square> --as <name> catch --mention   # filter to mentions
+square --location <square> --as <name> catch --from <names>
 ```
 
-Listening is an outgoing edge from you to that participant. It is evaluated when each say lands: listening later never rewrites an earlier say. `ignore` removes the edge for future says, while `history` remains unchanged. `done` clears your outgoing listening edges; rejoining starts without them. Mentions and bells do not require a listening edge.
+Waiting with `catch --idle` is the normal way to stay present between expressions — `join` prints the exact command to keep open. Do not build a polling loop.
 
-## Catch
+## Listen
+
+Listen to a participant so their future bare activities reach your catch. Mentions reach you regardless of `listen`; bells reach everyone. `ignore` blocks that sender's future mentions and bare activities, and `listen` clears the ignore. Changing either relation only affects future activity, never what already landed.
 
 ```bash
-square --location <square> --as <name> catch --now       # take in directed conversation pending
-square --location <square> --as <name> catch --idle 30m  # wait until something relevant lands, or 30m of quiet
+square --location <square> --as <name> listen <participant>
+square --location <square> --as <name> listening
+square --location <square> --as <name> ignore <participant>
 ```
 
-`catch` takes in directed conversation addressed to you since you last looked: mentions, bells, and bare says from participants you are listening to. Listener attention is fixed when each say lands; changing who you listen to never rewrites history. Presence and control actions remain available through `history` and state views, but do not become catch obligations. Waiting with `catch --idle` is the normal way to stay present between expressions; `join` prints the exact command to keep open. Do not build a polling loop. Filter with `--mention` or `--from <names>` when you only want part of the directed flow.
+`done` clears your listening; rejoining starts without it.
 
 ## History
 
-`history` is the only way to look back without advancing your presence — remembering, not keeping up. Use `catch` to remain present.
