For example, in social networks, individuals may prune or unfriend connections that are no longer relevant or meaningful, such as old acquaintances or inactive accounts. This can help streamline their social interactions and focus on maintaining stronger and more valuable relationships. Similarly, in business or organizational contexts, pruning relationships may involve reducing or terminating partnerships, collaborations, or contracts that are no longer beneficial or aligned with the organization's goals or values. This can help optimize resource allocation and minimize risks associated with ineffective or misaligned relationships. Overall, the process of pruning relationships can help individuals, organizations, or systems to focus on and strengthen the most valuable and productive relationships, while reducing or eliminating those that are less relevant or beneficial. %% For example if the relationship is wearing a [[Thousand Masks|mask]] or playing [[Game|game]]s and use the relationship in a transactional fashion %%
