Frequently Asked Questions
I’m worried about next year, but I’m just focusing on today. Is that "avoidance"?
No. This is "Anchoring to the Ground in Front of You." You are Prioritizing Immediacy over Future Meaning. In the model, the "ground" is the only place where you have Contiguous Control. By focusing on the "Ground in Front of You," you reduce your Cognitive Load. This isn't "avoidance"; it is Focus-Optimization.
What happens to my "future" if I only look at the "ground"?
Your future is built by the Quality of your Steps. If every step on the "ground" is high-density and contiguous, the path will lead somewhere stable. By not "looking up" at the distant future, you prevent the Vertigo of Uncertainty, allowing you to walk with a much firmer and more confident "Mass."
