Even after a decision is made, something continues underneath.

A shadow of thinking lingers, reviewing, second-guessing, adjusting.

This window does not demand confidence or certainty.

It notices that decisions can cast echoes, and that those echoes do not mean the decision was wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I feel uneasy even after I've made a choice?

This is the Loop Beneath Decisions. It is the Threat system continuing to scan for risks you might have missed. In this model, the decision is the "landing," but the loop is the "after-vibration." Naming this vibration prevents you from "re-opening" the decision. You realize the unease is just a structural echo, not a sign that you made the wrong choice, which helps maintain your Structural Integrity.

Will this uneasy feeling go away?

Yes, as you accumulate "Lived Done" signals. Every hour you spend standing by your decision provides evidence to the Threat system that you are safe. By recognizing the loop as a background noise rather than an emergency signal, you preserve your integration capacity. You move from "doubting the self" to "witnessing the system," which is the foundation of long-term settlement.
