The canonical cross-domain reference site the book invites readers to recall — where they have already seen the relational frame intact. The book’s invitation depends on this: every reader has seen relational somewhere; the operator’s task is to transpose what they already know is possible into the operator role.

Explanation

The move here is rhetorical and structural at once. Instead of asking the operator to imagine a relational standard from scratch, the book points them at something they already carry — the family table, a place most people have felt belonging, being known, and being cared for without having to ask.

That felt reference point becomes the transposition target for [Reimagining Hospitality]: not a foreign standard to import, but a familiar one to rebuild inside a different context, with a different cast and different Guests, aimed at the same destination.
