Protocolbot 5c4c6f4874 fix: remove cultural identifiers from protocol titles for consistency
Cultural context remains in descriptions. Titles now uniformly use the
practice name without prefixing the culture, country, religion, or people.
e.g. 'Quaker Meeting for Worship' -> 'Meeting for Worship',
'Moroccan Jmaa Village Assembly' -> 'Jmaa Village Assembly',
'Aboriginal Yarning Circle' -> 'Yarning Circle'.

43 titles updated across the seed library.

culture for navigating group harmony.

steps:
- headline: Observe before entering
description: >-
Before joining a room or conversation, pause and observe: who is
present, what is the mood, where is the tension, who holds influence
in this moment.
- headline: Read the unspoken
description: >-
Attend to body language, tone, pauses, and what is not being said.
Note who defers to whom and where energy gathers or withdraws.
- headline: Calibrate your entry
description: >-
Adjust how and when you enter the interaction — what to say, what to
hold, whether to speak at all — based on the reading you have made.
- headline: Continue reading throughout
description: >-
Nunchi is continuous, not a one-time read. Keep observing as the
interaction evolves and adjust.
outcome: >-
A person enters and participates in a group in a way that fits its
actual dynamics, avoiding missteps and supporting harmony.
practice: >-
Nunchi is not manipulation — it is attention to the collective. The
pause before entering is the practice. Speed of reading comes with
deliberate attention, not with rushing.
