You Allow Integration Without Guiding It. This is the "Safe Closure" of the integration window. You decide that the system is "done enough." You stop "helping" and start "inhabiting." In the Meaning Density Model™, this is the transition from "Maintenance" to "Life." By closing the window, you prevent "Process Addiction"—the habit of forever "working on yourself" rather than just "being yourself."
You move into "Contiguous Living." Your energy returns to your Reward & Pursuit systems, but they are now guided by a more stable Identity. The integration continues in the "background" of your daily actions. By closing the window, you allow your "structure" to become "portable," meaning your stability now stays with you regardless of what you are doing or where you are going.
