When the System Is Catching Up
The system is adjusting its timing.
Signals recalibrate quietly, without command or urgency.
Nothing is broken, and nothing needs to be forced back into rhythm.
This window notices recalibration as a natural process unfolding on its own schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I feel "fuddled" or "slow" after a high-stress event?
Your System Is Catching Up. This is Recalibration. Your "Integrator" is busy "sorting and filing" the massive influx of data from the stress event. Naming this "recalibration" helps you treat yourself with "structural patience." You aren't "losing your edge"; you are "updating your software." By allowing the slowness, you ensure that the "meaning" of the event is correctly integrated into your identity.
What happens if I don't let the system recalibrate?
You risk "Data Corruption." If you force a new "push" during recalibration, the old stress-data never gets "filed" correctly, leading to "fragmented identity" and chronic "noise." In the Meaning Density Model™, recalibration is a "High-Value Task." By doing "nothing" while your system catches up, you are actually performing the most important work of maintaining your long-term coherence.
