Each experience stands alone, without building a story or weight.
Naming non-accumulation removes the need to force continuity or meaning.
The present moment is allowed to be sufficient by itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
My days feel like separate islands; they don't seem to "add up" to anything.
This is "Momentum Disconnection." You are experiencing "Moments That Don't Accumulate." The Narrative & Identity System usually weaves your days into a "sense of progress." When this stops, life feels "non-linear." This is a sign of Meaning Fatigue. Naming it allows you to stop the "Progress-Audit." Each day is its own Sufficient Unit. You don't need them to "add up" to be "allowed" to have them.
How do I find motivation if my moments don't "accumulate"?
You shift to Unit-Based Motivation. Instead of doing something for the "Big Goal," you do it for the Small Done Signal of that specific hour. "I finished this email." "I walked for ten minutes." By focusing on the "Density of the Unit," you bypass the need for "Long-Term Narrative" and maintain your Functional Integrity through the hollowness.
