Minimal social orientation for sanity: person, place, time. ("Oriented times three" in psychiatry)

But for ordinary orientation in social/shared information spaces, I think the salient orientatable features are story and conflict.

Note: not facts. "Story" is not fact, but an account of causality known to others (if not accepted by them as true).

"Story" can usually be summarized in one tweet or even one word and expanded as needed.

The other feature is conflict - not questions. There are lots of interesting questions but we orient on fights of various sorts.
