Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I keep "measuring" my progress or my state?
Self-measurement is a calibration loop used by the Status system to ensure you are "on track." In modern life, we calibrate constantly, which prevents us from ever just "being." The Meaning Density Model™ encourages "existing without calibration." By pausing the self-measurement, you remove the "evaluation gap" between who you are and who you "should" be. This allows your identity to settle into its current reality, which is the only place where true integration can occur.
What happens when I stop calibrating?
You experience "structural presence." Without the constant "feedback noise" of self-evaluation, your attention becomes contiguous. You are no longer split between "doing" and "judging the doing." This increases your "meaning density," as the experience is allowed to be whole and unedited. You find that you are "sufficient" as a structural fact, regardless of what any internal or external metric says about your "progress."
