Interesting notion; I often feel like my personal density has reached maximum.
Seriously, though, the notion of personal density fits with my folk theory of charisma as models of gravity. Some people (my son, e.g.), have a Newtonian pull, a mysterious action at a distance that seems to have no medium. Others (like my daughter), have a personal density that is more Einsteinian — their mass is such that it curves the space around them, and you find yourself rolling toward them.
I recently learned Thomas Pynchon’s term for this phenomenon: increasing one’s “personal density.”

Enjoyed this, thanks Roblin.
