I read this and couldn’t help but think that this is just the shared secret pattern. was that the inspiration?

I only know how it works in Gun. But basically, you generate a secret based upon one of the person’s keys. Then the other person can decrypt it with one of their other keys.
But in Gun, each user has 4 keys. pub, private, epub, epriv. The epub and epriv are used in the secrets.
