Frequently Asked Questions

I feel like things are shifting inside, but I can't put my finger on it. Should I analyze this?

Analysis is often an "Evaluation Loop" that pulls you out of the moment. In the Meaning Density Model™, micro-shifts occur best when they aren't focused on or interpreted. Your Narrative & Identity system is doing the heavy lifting of reorganization in the background. By staying present without analysis, you provide the "settling" environment necessary for these shifts to complete. Trust that your architecture knows how to rebuild itself without your mind's constant supervision.

How does "staying present" support these internal shifts?

Presence provides a stable "container" for change. If you are constantly analyzing, you are adding "noise" to a system that needs "quiet." Presence is the signal that the environment is safe for the Threat system to stand down. When you remain in the "observer" seat without judging the shifts, you allow your internal systems to sync up. This coherence is the very definition of building Meaning Density—allowing life to "land" without the friction of constant mental interference.
