Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be "at ease" with others?
Being "at ease" is the closing of the relational safety arc. It means your nervous system has processed the presence of others and registered no need for defense or pursuit. In the Meaning Density Model™, this is a state of "low-friction existence." You are physically near others, but your systems are in a state of rest. This ease is the ultimate structural goal of regulation—where presence is a "given" and no longer requires active management.
How do I reach this state of ease?
Ease isn't something you "do"; it is what remains when you stop "adjusting." By following the previous FAQs—removing effort, exchange, and the need for optimization—ease naturally lands. It is a bottom-up settlement. When the Four Systems are no longer competing for control of the social interaction, the system defaults to ease. You are simply "with" others, and that is sufficient for the moment.
