Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve noticed the distance I feel, but I don’t know how to change it. What now?
The most important insight of the Meaning Density Model™ is that recognition is the completion. You don't need to "change" the distance; you just need to "notice" it. By observing the distance without trying to fix it, you close the Status & Control loop of "self-improvement." This act of simple noticing completes the "entry phase" of this emotional state. You have successfully mapped your internal landscape. Once you stop trying to change it, the system stops feeling "under attack" and can begin to settle on its own.
Why is "just noticing" enough to help me?
Because "noticing" is an act of the Narrative & Identity system. It brings "consciousness" to a "biological" state. When you notice the distance, you are no longer "lost" in it; you are the "observer" of it. This creates a tiny bit of "Meaning Density" in an otherwise empty state. This shift from "being the problem" to "noticing the state" restores your agency and allows your nervous system to move through its natural cycles without being jammed by your own interventions.
