You have moved out of the "oscillation loop." In high-stress states, the body swings between frantic pursuit and total collapse. As you settle, those swings become shallower until you reach an "even level." This balance is the return of homeostasis. It feels strange because we are used to the drama of the highs and lows, but this evenness is where your Narrative & Identity system can finally construct a stable sense of self.
No. Boredom is the craving for intensity during a low state. An "even level" is the acceptance of neutrality as a position of strength. In the model, balance is not a lack of feeling; it is the presence of structural integrity. When you are even, you can perceive the world as it is, without the distortion of your Reward or Threat systems. This clarity is the foundation of high-density meaning.
