Frequently Asked Questions

Everything in my life—work, home, social—feels like it’s bleeding together. Why?

This happens when "experience has no edges." Overload compresses your internal boundaries until the different areas of your life lose their distinct "Meaning Density." In the Meaning Density Model™, "edge-less experience" is a sign of extreme structural compression. Your Narrative system can no longer tell where one story ends and another begins. This "blur" makes it impossible for any single event to feel significant, leading to a sense of "hollow overwhelm."

How do I put the "edges" back into my life?

You create edges through "Rituals of Completion." When you finish work, do something physical—change your clothes, wash your face, or take a specific route home—to signal the end of that loop. These "transition rituals" provide the structural markers your Narrative system needs to categorize experiences. By building clear "gates" between the different parts of your day, you restore the boundaries that allow meaning to land and your identity to feel coherent again.
