Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stay connected to people without "telling them everything"?
Yes. This is "connection without exposure." In the Meaning Density Model™, you reduce the pressure to reveal or "confess" to maintain a bond. Connection is a structural fact of being together; exposure is an expensive Narrative event. By choosing not to "expose" your internal state before it is integrated, you protect your identity from being "colonized" by others' interpretations. This allows for a safe, bounded connection where you are known by your presence rather than your "data."
Why does "not revealing" feel like a secret?
It only feels like a secret if the Status & Control system believes you "owe" people access to your thoughts. In this framework, "internal privacy" is a right, not a deception. When you stay connected without over-exposure, you are maintaining a "healthy threshold." This ensures that when you do choose to share, it is a high-density, intentional act of intimacy rather than a desperate attempt to satisfy a social obligation or reduce the anxiety of being misunderstood.
