Just a pause where inquiry loosens its grip.
The mind notices the absence of interrogation without needing to fill it.
Thought continues, but it no longer circles itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I keep asking myself "why" or "what if"?
This is Internal Questioning Pressure. It is a Threat-system tactic used to maintain vigilance. In the Meaning Density Model™, an endless string of questions prevents any single experience from reaching a "finished" state. By introducing "quiet between questions," you allow the current answer to actually integrate. You move from a state of "interrogating life" to "living life," where meaning is felt rather than just calculated.
How do I reduce the pressure to have answers?
You name the question as a "loop entry." When a "why" arises, acknowledge it but don't "open the loop" immediately. Say: "I hear the question; I am waiting for the landing." This shifts the power from the Reward & Pursuit drive for answers to the Narrative system's need for coherence. The pressure drops as you realize that not every question requires a metabolic investment today.
