Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my life suddenly feel like a foreign language I can't speak?
This is "Meaning Inaccessibility." Your Narrative System is temporarily offline. Normalizing this "without alarm" is a Structural Move. Just as a computer has a "Safe Mode," your mind sometimes restricts access to complex meaning to save metabolic energy. It isn’t gone; it’s just currently "read-only" while you recover.
How do I know when meaning will be accessible again?
You don't need to know. In the model, we treat meaning like weather. You don't "fix" a foggy day; you just drive slower. By not panicking, you lower the Velocity of the experience, which actually allows the "fog" to clear faster. Your only task is to remain Contiguous with your physical environment while the meaning-receptors reset.
