Frequently Asked Questions
Why does it feel like my interest in the world is slowing down without me trying?
This is "Natural Deceleration." After a period of saturation, the brain stops prioritizing high-velocity sensory input to conserve energy. It’s not a loss of interest, but a structural "cooling off." In the model, deceleration happens naturally once the Reward system is no longer being artificially spiked. By allowing this slowdown, you give your nervous system the chance to finally process the backlog of unintegrated experiences.
Is it okay that I don't feel the need to "keep up" anymore?
Yes. Deceleration is a sign that your Threat & Safety system no longer views "falling behind" as a survival risk. When input slows on its own, it indicates that your internal "integrator" is becoming more efficient. You are shifting from a state of frantic consumption to a state of selective presence. This is a vital step toward reclaiming your agency from the high-trigger modern environment.
