I like “change of state” better than conflict.
It may also bring us back to the economics of conversation.
If I enter a conversation in state A and leave it in state B, the interesting question is not merely whether I changed, but whether I value the change.
Could conversational value somehow be understood as the value participants assign to the changes of state produced by the conversation?
