Frequently Asked Questions
I actually noticed a gap between my coffee and my first email today. Is that what "unstacking" looks like?
Exactly. You are seeing "Space Appearing Between Moments." In overload, time "stacks" until there are no edges. As your capacity returns, your Narrative system begins to re-insert the "transitions" it previously deleted to save time. These gaps are the "structural buffers" of a healthy life. Seeing them return is a sign that your "Integrator" is no longer in emergency mode and is starting to respect the natural rhythm of a human day.
How can I encourage more of these "gaps" to appear?
By "Noticing without Filling." When a gap appears, don't reach for your phone or start the next task. Just "Inhabit the Gap" for a few seconds. In the Meaning Density Model™, these moments of "Nothingness" are where the nervous system "saves its progress." By staying in the space between moments, you prove to your Safety system that it is safe to unstack the rest of the day, leading to a more regulated and "contiguous" experience of time.
