The Moment of Internal Debate
The moment of internal debate does not require a winner.
Thoughts weigh options, feelings counterbalance, and the scale shifts subtly.
This debate is not inefficiency; it is discernment unfolding.
Naming it removes urgency to conclude before readiness arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
My mind feels like a courtroom. Why can't the debate just end?
You are in an "Internal Debate." The Status & Control system is trying to find the "perfect" answer to avoid a perceived threat. Naming the debate "without resolution pressure" is a Structural Move. You allow the "prosecutor" and "defense" to talk, but you take the "judge's" seat. You don't have to reach a verdict today. This reduces the velocity of the thoughts and allows the debate to become "background noise" rather than a crisis.
How do I know when to finally "end" the debate?
The debate ends when the Meaning Density of one path significantly outweighs the others—or when you simply reach the "End of the Session." You can decide to "adjourn" the debate and go for a walk. In the model, "Settlement" doesn't always come from a "winner" in the argument, but from the Integrator deciding that enough data has been heard for now.
