Inside,
something

just difference.
Parts
hold separate
timing.
Let overlap
exist
without resolution.
Agreement
isn’t required
for presence.

"The Inside Doesn’t Agree Yet." Internal disagreement is normal and "Architecturally Sound." In the Meaning Density Model™, different behavioral systems have different "Needs" at different times. Your Reward system wants the "Win," while your Safety system wants "Rest." This isn't "Conflict"; it’s "Diversity of Signal." Your Integrator’s job is to listen to both without choosing a "Side" immediately.
Use "Negotiated Sequencing." Say: "I hear the need for rest and the need for a win. We will do 20 minutes of work, and then 20 minutes of rest." This provides a "Landing" for both signals. DojoWell teaches that "Integration is a Conversation." By giving both parts a "Voice" and a "Time Slot," you reduce the "Internal Friction" and allow your system to move forward as a "Coherent Whole."
