Co-presence can exist without co-localization, a break enabled by tele-technologies.

Evidence

Whereas local presence is defined by the relation between an entity and a place (a relation of localization), co-presence is defined solely by a relation between entities (whether beings or events). To be co-present means to be in the presence of one another. As a general rule, of course, co-presence presupposes co-localization (to be co-present means to be in the same place). However, that is not always the case; in fact, it is at precisely this point that the major break introduced by tele-technologies occurs. — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 946

Categorization

• DEFINE: Distinguishes co-presence (relation between entities) from local presence (relation to a place).
• XREF: Connects to the drone’s pilot located remotely yet ‘present’ at the kill site — the operational thesis of the book. — connects to: Co-presence does not require awareness of the other’s presence; Co-presence can be unilateral, breaking presumed reciprocity between combatants; A tele-operator’s two presences are layered, so neither fully effaces the other.
