The feeling of being internally divided does not arrive with sharp edges.
It appears as a quiet split, a sense of standing in more than one place at once.
Nothing is broken.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal to feel like there are two different people living inside my head?
Yes. This is the "Felt Sense of Internal Division." In the Meaning Density Model™, we name this "without judgment." You are a complex organism with diverse survival strategies. Feeling "divided" is simply the mechanical sound of those strategies interacting. By removing the "judgment" (the idea that you should be one voice), you reduce the Internal Friction that makes the division feel painful.
Why does the division feel so much louder lately?
Because you are likely in a High-Velocity environment. Speed forces the different parts of your system to react independently to stay "safe." As you lower your velocity and provide Stillness Tolerance, the parts begin to communicate more effectively. The division doesn't necessarily disappear, but it becomes "harmonious"—more like a choir and less like a shouting match.
