Frequently Asked Questions
What if my thoughts never reach a "resolution"?
You must De-link Thought from Resolution. In the modern "Power Loop," we are taught that every thought must lead to a "solution." In this framework, many thoughts are simply "internal weather"—they pass through without needing a result. By deciding that a thought doesn't need a resolution to be "finished," you provide an artificial "done" signal. This allows the loop to close on your terms, freeing up space for rest and recovery.
Why does "no resolution" feel like failure?
That is the Status & Control system equating "answers" with "worth." In the Meaning Density Model™, your worth is found in your Coherence, not your "solutions." When you allow thoughts to remain unresolved, you are practicing "high-level regulation." You are proving that you are stable enough to handle an "open loop" without it becoming a crisis. This is the foundation of structural resilience and a more durable sense of self.
