Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I feel like I'm carrying a "quiet argument" with me all day?
This is "Ongoing Inner Conflict." It’s a low-level friction between two internal systems that hasn't been resolved. Naming it "without escalation" means you stop trying to "win" the argument. You acknowledge the hum of disagreement as a background feature of your current state. Like a distant radio, the argument stays, but it no longer takes up your Contiguous Attention, allowing you to finish your day with integrity.
What prevents an "inner argument" from escalating?
Non-Participation. An argument needs two sides to grow. When you (the Integrator) stop taking a side and simply name the conflict as a "background occurrence," the velocity drops. You are "carrying" the argument, but you aren't "doing" it. This de-escalation allows your nervous system to stay in the Safety Zone, even if the "quiet argument" is still audible in the back of your mind.
