Frequently Asked Questions
My mind feels like a crowded subway station. How do I clear the crowd?
You don't "clear" the crowd through force; you "externalize" it. In the Meaning Density Model™, internal crowding is a result of too many "active" identity fragments vying for attention. To see this density without judgment, try writing down everything that is "crowding" you. This moves the data from your Internal Integrator to an external surface. Once the "crowd" is on paper, it is no longer "inside" you. It becomes a set of loops you can observe and eventually close from a distance.
Why does externalizing the "crowd" make me feel better?
Because it restores "Narrative Fluidity." When the crowd is inside, it feels like "you." When it is externalized, it becomes "information." This creates the "structural distance" needed for your Threat & Safety system to stand down. You are no longer the "crowded station"; you are the "observer" looking at a list. This shift in perspective lowers the "Meaning Density" of the situation, allowing your nervous system to breathe and focus on the one thing that actually needs your attention right now.
